Millie (Halle Berry) is a hardworking single mom with a soft spot for strays. When Kings begins, she already has eight children living in her house and will soon bring home another. Her neighbour Obie (Daniel Craig) is the local loose cannon, and the only white man in an area largely inhabited by African Americans, Latinos, and Koreans. With racial tensions running dangerously high, Millie and Obie would appear to be unlikely allies. Yet following the acquittal of four of the officers accused of beating Rodney King, these two must navigate the gathering chaos in the city to bring Millie's kids home safely.

If I were to describe this film in one word, I would go with hodgepodge. A romantic film about the Los Angeles riots - it already sounds retarded, so it's probably clear what I think about the writing. I have no idea what the creators were going for. There was no way I could find the characters relatable. I found the film annoying and pointless.
