ripped-from-today's-headlines
Hi All,
Does anyone knows what the following sentence(bold-faced) means :
"The Kingdome" has some power but not enough sense. A ripped-from-today's-headlines thriller starring Jamie Foxx, it wants us to feel as if we're watching something relevant when what's really going on is a slick execuse for effiicient mayhem that is not half as smart as it would like to be
Thank you for your help in advance

A thriller (a genre of movie) that uses subject that is taken from current news. The headlines of the newspaper show current news. If you "rip it" (take it) right from the headlines, you are using very current subject matter.
