“Kings” (** out of four) was a heavy-handed melodrama set during the L.A. riots in 1992 in which a foster mother (Halle Berry) and her hostile neighbor (Daniel Craig) must band together to try and stay alive as the city around them is engulfed in flames and embroiled in chaos. Give writer-director Denize Gamze Erguven points for tackling a fiery story in a difficult piece of history but results are preachy and superficial at best. While it’s always good to see Craig and Berry onscreen, Craig’s accent wavers and Berry has played this same role numerous times before.
