Having just watched 'Sling Blade' years after it was produced, I can honestly state it is one of the best films I have seen. The story, acting, lighting etc. were all great and made a deep impression on me.
I must admit that when I watched this movie I did not know that 'Karl' was being played by BBThornton and when the cast was shown I was amazed. BBThornton must be one of the most talented people in movies and to find that he also wrote and produced this film was a revelation.
It was underplayed beautifully and the scene where Karl put his arm about the boy Frank I found very moving.
Granted you can't please all the people all the time, but I feel sorry for those negative people that find pleasure in criticizing something that they could not replicate in a fit.
A wonderful film.
