Leave your thoughts about Message from the King.
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayA solid neo-noir actioner with a charismatic lead performance from Chadwick Boseman. |
| The PlaylistNoel MurrayMessage from the King isn’t a chore to watch by any means; and there are moments that suggest the more colorful neo-noir that might’ve been. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerChadwick Boseman reveals impressive star power in this suspenseful action thriller. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesInstead of being the next Equalizer, it's a slower paced investigative revenge piece that's lacking a harder edge. |
| The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijWith a slick, outsider’s perspective on the City of Angels and some interesting possibilities that are set up early on, this Message gets off to a great start. But the screenplay becomes a muddle and then a mess in its second half. |
| Black Nerd ProblemsWilliam EvansWas this a terrible movie? No, not by any means. It just wasn't that great, even if the vehicle felt very ripe for Boseman. |
| Screen DailyAllan HunterUltimately the visual polish and subplots merely serve as fleeting distractions from the weary familiarity of this two-fisted tale. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreBoseman carries himself with confidence in every role, but the rat hole this picture twists into must have left even him shaken. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeIt’s a dark and all-around unpleasant journey to take. |
| User ReviewNate PI liked it beginning to end! Chadwick and Luke are both awesome actors. |
