Message from the King is grim and intense; the former because of its seedy underworld setting, and the latter because of Chadwick Boseman's brilliant performance as Jacob King. I particularly enjoyed the improvised weaponry (and resulting fight scenes), and the unexpected (small) twist at the end.

Starts off as a promising revenge neo-noir type flick with grime and sleeze, but the perceived freshness brought on by Boseman playing a South African is surface deep only. But for what it is, it passed the time just fine. Just do yourself a favor and shut it off about two minutes early, that partial twist was an eye roller.

Decent if formulaic revenge fare.

Spoiler...... It must be bizarre from the viewpoint of the little boy. This big black guy barges into his home, kills his stepfather, and tries to kidnap him. Nonetheless, they should turn this Jacob King character into a franchise.

It has some decent fight scenes, but that's about it.

Fair revenge movie, only elevated really by Bosemans incredible acting. Everyone else's performances are fine, but maybe a bit too much from Molina, and the editing is pretty good throughout, though ultimately there's not much else worth highlighting. With anyone else in the lead role, this wouldn't be as good as it is .

Okay, it's grim and gritty, but it's also devoid of anything to care about. I've seen this type of movie many times before, but they at least had interesting stories, or nuanced performances, or originality. This is just bland. There's no reason for the protagonist to be African. There's no parallels or contrasts brought up between his culture and the culture he enters. The villains are all stock vague ethnicity greased hair businessmen who are only evil and shout every second. What's the point?

Message from the King bittiğinde tek düşündüğüm şey, aslında son derece iyi bir film olabilecekken, neden bu kadar basit olmayı tercih ettiğiydi. Onca karakter bomboş kullanılıyor, ele alınan konu harcanıyor ve vasat bir senaryoya kurban gidiyor. Sürükleyici fakat aynı zamanda da hayal kırıklığı.

Boseman has a commanding presence and that is felt all through out this film. It is a solid enough dark and gritty revenge action flick that keeps things moving quickly. Solid enough with an interesting cast that plays smaller roles. The action never really becomes too over the top and that's the realism of the underground drug world this is set in.

Really half-baked. Should have worked a little bit more on the script before filming this one.
