'A message from the King' Review: Does Boseman pull off being a bad-aas?

7.4/10

Message from the King is a 2016 American revenge-action-thriller film directed by Fabrice Du Welz and written by Stephen Cornwell and Oliver Butcher. It stars Chadwick Boseman, Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, and Alfred Molina.

I saw it pop up on Netflix and was like oh look there's the black panther Chadwick the "King" Boseman I got to check this out. Therefore I did and I have to say I wasn't disappointed. Basically The film's plot revolves around a man (Jacob King) from South Africa who travels to Los Angeles in order to find his younger sister at first.... then it turns into a massive revenge thriller (like I hope to think any of us would).

The supporting cast was great, some talented stars bringing there spectacular presence to the screen, like Luke Evans especially as a sneaky little snake of a dentist in the drug game. Teresa Palmer as the hooker/loving mum (but she only does blowjobs). Then there was the main man Chadwick, I love this guys Accent he just sounds like such a badass when he talks, his fighting scenes weren't great but I think that's down to the choreographer. His acting also fealt a little cheesy at times but i have not really seen him in much to judge to harshly. All in all worth a watch, pacing was good all the way, kept me interested and just a good bit of fun so I rate it a 7.4/10

WHAT IT WOULD COST TO POWER THE DEATHSTAR!!

Image
Creating something as powerfully destructive as the Death Star takes one thing above all: a ridonculous amount of money. As if building the iconic weapons wasn't a cash draining enterprise in and of itself, keeping the lights on is a feat that surpasses nailing an exhaust port with a torpedo, while using the Force. Destroying a Death Star is fairly easy, but paying $7.74 OCTILLION just to make it work day by day is extremely difficult. Ovo Energy crunched the numbers, and came to the conclusion that the $7.74 octillion cost for operating the Death Star would be around what's required to feed, quarter and launder all stormtroopers on board. On top of that, the cost factors in the usage/recharging of the Death Star's powerful planet destroying laser canon, as well as jumping into hyperspace - because having that much firepower and that many grunts aboard a craft that can't move or shoot is utterly useless. Seriously that money though I can't begin to fathom ...

HERE'S MY 15 MOVIES THAT WILL SURELY LEAVE YOUR INSIDES FEELING NUMB!!

Image
Ok now being a man I'm somewhat sceptical of doing this list, but I watch anything and everything and I also have a heart and these films pull at my heartstrings so if your having "one of them days" (Which we all have mind you), Whip out the ice cream and get depressed. So on that note, here is my top 15 gut-renching films for you to cry to. 1) The boy in striped pyjamas The son of a Nazi befriends a Jewish prisoner in a concentration camp and disaster strikes when he finds himself on the wrong side of the fence. Really kills your insides and destroys your soul. You will be sad for days. 2) Kubo and the Two Strings  One of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. From start to finish such a warming/loving story and at the heart of it a young boy who is inspirational. Personally for me I cried several times throughout so this earns it second place. 3) If I Stay  All I'll say is prepare to feel broken and emotionally numb inside. 4) The imp...
