Review of Kings (2017) by Dave M — 28 Apr 2018

I found it chaotic and stressful to watch from the first frame when the young girl is shot in the store by an Asian store clerk. The movie went from that to other horrors that no one would want to have happen in their neighborhoods.

Halle Berry's character was amazing & truly an example of mothers caring for all the kids in their neighborhood. Daniel Craig represented the power of arbitrary connection to get you out of your own myopic world, Lamar Johnson shined as a teenager struggling to do the right thing in the middle of constant negative pressure and it showed police are more than two dimensional.

Yes, the film has an ugly subject but it's definitely a prompt for people in communities to think about how things get out of control.
