...characters are so complex and the twists are so unexpected that it flies by faster than a Will Ferrell movie. The razor-sharp dialogue is particularly top-notch, which was quite unexpected considering Monahan’s previous credits include the incredibly banal Orlando action-flick, “Kingdom of Heaven.” Wahlberg, delivering his best work since the decade old “Boogie Nights,” has half of the film’s best lines.With more gore at its climax than even “Goodfellas” could stomach, the film makes...
...star professor at the Kennedy School of Government is joining forces with scholars at the University of Manchester to explore social change in the United States and the United Kingdom. Robert D.

An incipient fascism sweeps the English motorways from one deracinated mall-town to another. If Kingdom Come has a flaw, it's dialogue that sounds like a lecture on social theory. To liven things up, Ballard marches his shoppers to the brink of armed apocalypse, and he displays an attention to detail that can lull you into suspending disbelief. Especially if you have traveled the new English landscape of soccer thugs, superstores and paved-over villages where...
