The King review by Shatner's Bassoon
An excellent indie drama.

I was surprised to see negative reviews about this film, I thought it was a well written, acted and directed movie. Written by Milo Addica the author of 'Monsters Ball' and 'Birth', the film follows the character of Elvis Valderez, a seemingly polite and charming young man who after his discharge from the U.S navy sets out to meet his real father, a now born again Christian pastor. After a brief rejection, Elvis is welcomed into his new family, but it soon becomes apparent that Elvis is a highly dangerous and damaged individual. As you would expect from Milo Addica, the story is well written, the characters have plenty of depth and as the story unfolds it reveals unexpected and unpleasant twists. If you like independent films then this is well worth a rental.

The King review by Rubber Ducky
Slow, not really engaging

Didn't like this very much. The story was slow and most of the questions brought up by the plot were left unanswered. The main character appears to be totally amoral and it wasn't particularly enjoyable spending 2 hours in his company.

The King review by Demi
Stick to foreign language!

Wasn't that good. Starts off well and a good storyline but too long and nowhere near as good as the foreign language stuff he has done!
