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.

I'm a sucker for revenge thrillers, essentially all they really have to do is not suck and I'm on board. And _Message from the King_ sure didn't suck. Even if it did, massive bonus points for the kid playing _Payday 2_.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it More

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 More
