Chadwick took this movie to another level, his performance made this thriller even more engaging.

Dirty and grim, not your typical movie but even though it was a revenge tale I did like how Chadwick played Jacob King.

Twists and turns with King laying it out, with just right flavor of action.

Watch it and enjoy it.

Nothing too over-the-top in the way of violence - everything is done with a reason. Well worth watching.

Chadwick Boseman carries it no doubt, but I did feel entertained throughout by 'Message from the King'.

It's a simple film. It doesn't do anything revolutionary or anything, yet still managed to keep me watching with interest for practically all of the 102 minute run time. I like how it starts most, with the connections feeling believable. It loses some of that as it goes on, though it didn't affect my enjoyment all that much.

Boseman really is the only true star of this though, as he gives a very good performance in the lead role as Jacob. Luke Evans (Paul) is pleasant too, while Teresa Palmer (Kelly) has a few moments. Alfred Molina (Mike) also appears, as do Messrs Draco Malfoy and Brad Bellick...

The ending isn't the greatest, though it is still serviceable. That coupled with the nice look of the film and a certain Mr. Boseman mean I'll remember this in a positive manner.

Standard revenge tale, this grim thriller is lifted by Chadwick's engaging performance.

pretty solid action revenge movie

foreign cop comes down to America to do his own off the books investigation after his sister is murdered

the lead actor really carries this movie

it's a slow burn but when there is action it's pretty solid
