Critics Consensus

Overstuffed and unrealistic, My Kingdom may be worth seeing if only for Richard Harris' typically fine performance.

Richard Harris is at his weariest, battle-scarred best...

Neither an effective gangland thriller nor an achieved elegy for a lord undone.

Whereas last year's exemplary Sexy Beast seemed to revitalize the British gangster movie, this equally brutal outing merely sustains it.

It is hard to believe that Harris will better his performance as Sandeman, Liverpool's most feared crime lord.

Leading man Harris and director Boyd are still capable of invigorating British cinema with style and flair.

A-

A fun retelling of the Lear story, taking great liberties with the play's text that makes for a certain amount of suspense even for those intimately familiar with the original.

In this, his final film, Harris put in a strong performance - unfortunately everything else is decidedly amateur

A modern day "King Lear" that is essentially your basic soap about a family working in the field of organized crime. All of the usual mob romantism is left out and replased by extreme harshness and dark imagery. The overall grittiness works for a short while, but the film doesn't take off at all. The end result is a sadly tired and predictable story that even a reasonably good cast can't save.
