King Knight (2021)
6/10
A great concept with some rough....rough execution
8 April 2024
The other day I explained the main plot tension of this movie and I found myself laughing hysterically when talking about some of the reveal scenes.

It really is a great concept, and I can imagine being in the room during the pitch for this.

I love the earnestness Matthew brings to this movie, and I do think the humor almost makes it. It's an absurdist movie with a great comedic cast.

But man, it's a rough time for a lot of the movie. I suspect this movie got ravaged by production woes during the pandemic, so I have a lot of empathy for the cast and crew.

It feels like a real movie, held back by budget or restrictions (unlike a lot of "covid" movies, where you can see the 6-ft rules in place)

I think with another pass on the script, and some more extras (bruh moment when you see the cardboard extras at the end), this would be a really good indie comedy/anti-comedy

I appreciate this movie. It's fun to talk about, but I can't recommend it unless you love the cast or noticing production mistakes in movies (digital extras with green-screen effects)
