After suddenly losing all contact
with his younger sister, Jacob King arrives in Los Angeles determined to track
her down. Trying to piece together her last known movements, King finds
unsettling evidence of a life gone off the rails - drugs, sex and secrets in the
sleazy underbelly of the City of Angels. Undeterred by warnings to go home,
King proves to be more than a match for the violence he is confronted with as
he relentlessly pursues the truth about what happened to his sister. (Courtesy

MESSAGE FROM THE KING was a movie that took me by surprise.
I had past over the film several times before actually taking the time to view
the trailer. Upon viewing the trailer I was sold and ready to watch the film.
These days it is hard for a film to stand alone meaning that the idea of the
movie hasn’t been done before. For me, MESSAGE FOR THE KING reminded my greatly
of the TAKEN films. This film being I felt a little less polished and or
gritty. I loved that the man character was someone I could relate to and the
performance of Chadwick Boseman was rather enjoyable to watch. So for MESSAGE
FROM THE KING I give it 4 stars out of 5.
