Kings
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
Good people are caught in a powder keg when a spark sets a community on fire. Millie (Halle Berry) is a bleeding heart single foster parent to 8 kids who bakes bunt cakes to supplement her income. She is the old lady who lived in a shoe with so many kids she didn’t know what to do. Obie (Daniel Craig) is a reclusive who drinks too much & tends to fire a shotgun out his window or push large appliances off his balcony when he is disturbed by loud commotions. He is Millie’s neighbor & apparently the only white man living in the hood. Their lives cross paths in the shadows of Rodney King beating & the trial of the 4 officers involved. Along with storylines involving the foster kids, it feels like a low budget artistic mess that doesn’t work. It’s hard to believe this misfire when you have a Bond girl & an new Bond with a sex dream & a weird experience involving handcuffs, a lamp post, taking off their pants, & a McGyver-esque maneuver during a riot (and that’s not a dream!). Apparently the title is supposed to in reference to the other famous King too but this film fails to mention MLK Jr.
Alien gives it 2 “double bracelets” stars out of 4.
