Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
kosmasp Another King role for Chadwick. Just kidding and I haven't seen Black Panther yet (though that situation will be remedeed later on tonight). This movie is a straight up revenge thriller. And I really am not telling you anything you won't read in the description. Chadwick is the stranger who comes into town - in search for his sister and his nephew.Now you can imagine that he won't just find them the minute he comes over. What he does find is some friends and quite some trouble. With an interesting choice in "weapon" he goes on to find out what happened. Now if you are a pacifist, you may not like how he approaches certain individuals or how he revolves arguments or how he achieves getting information from certain individuals. But this is a movie and a certain motivation plus determination will lead to a violent resolution. Question is: how well is it made? I'd say more than decent enough. It doesn't add anything really new to the genre, but it is well executed (if you'll excuse the pun) ...
danielclundquist An EXCELLENT movie. One that not only addresses the cruelty and injustice of this world but also the humility and focus of the few who do try to make it right.Highly recommended!
adonis98-743-186503 A mysterious outsider named Jacob King from South Africa arrives in Los Angeles to avenge his younger sister's death. Message from the King benefits from a strong leading performance by newcomer and Mr. Black Panther Chadwick Boseman who shines as a brother who seeks revenge for his sister's death also Teresa Palmer once again does a great job as a single mother who lives a "dangerous" life so she can raise her daughter. The film is slow and sometimes dramatic and it might turn off some viewers since there isn't that much action and although as i said it's slow the leading performance of Boseman keeps the viewers entertained until the finale where there's a nice twist as well. Where the movie suffers terribly is with it's Cast for example Alfred Molina's performance was a disappointment and might be the worst performance i've seen from him in general, the same goes for Luke Evans, Natalie Martinez and Tom Felton they were all "expendable" and quite boring if you ask me. Overall Message from the King (2016) benefits from Boseman's and Palmer's great performances and their characters who seek for a sort of Redemption but everyone is more wooden than ever. (6.0/10)
niutta-enrico This movie puts together some among my favorite actors: from Alfred Molina to Luke Evans or Teresa Palmer or Chadwick Boseman, and follows an intriguing storyline.Unfortunately (on my opinion) the final result suffers the destiny of many TV movies: a plot doomed by annoying logical holes, an unkempt sequence of events and an (even more disturbing) insufficient development of key characters…Too many good actors for a missed opportunity.
