Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The King suffers from an overbearing sense of its own self-importance.
It really is reprehensible and disgusting, not only because we've seen far too many sociopaths in movies over the past 20 years, but because it deals with horrid cliches and presents them as something indie-hip and morally provocative.
Chilling and compelling.
It is an intelligent, disturbing thriller.
