Street Kings: Less Believable: That a ruthless, embittered rogue badass LAPD cop who’s come unhinged after witnessing years of unrepentant crime would ultimately puss out and prove he’s really a stand-up guy. More Believable: If the cop is Keanu Reeves.
Prom Night: Less Believable: That someone thought they could remake a classic slasher like this and get away with it. More Believable: That someone would want to kill Britney Snow.
The Life Before Her Eyes: Less Believable: That one sixteen year old girl would experiment with hard drugs, sleep with a middle aged exotic animal breeder, deal with an unplanned pregnancy, and become involved in a school shooting — all in one Spring. More Believable: If the girl is Evan Rachel Wood.*
