Title: A film that will stay with you...
Review: Joe the King was a film I rented out of curiosity. I have always admired Val Kilmer's less mainstream film performances. " HBO's "The Man Who Broke 1000 Chains" stands out in my mind. This film took me by surprise as much as it stunned me on a personal and intellectual level. I found that the character development was full. It was a realistic portrayal of one the most common and often covered up either seperate or combined social issues, Abuse, and Alcoholism. Plus, everything that can snowball when these subjects become a reality in a families life.I felt that though perhaps not a critical success on many accounts. The actors deserved acknowledgment for their near perfect portrayals. The screenplay was excellent and it was a film that touched on topics that are often misunderstood.For those reasons alone, I cannot recommend this movie enough. It is excellent! I own many movies but, I could not add this one to my collection quick enough.
Is the review positive or negative?
