Review of All the King's Men (2006) by Brandon F — 16 Jul 2007

I know I'm all alone on this one. I, as a critic, can hardly ask you, the reader, to ignore the critics, but this, in my opinion, is one of those moments when you must. All the Kings Men is a film about good men gone bad.

It is a film, if you believe the Holy Bible, about man's origin from dirt and the original sin from which he is incapable of escaping. It is a film about loss, deception, betrayal, unfulfilled expectations and regret.

It is a film about morality and potential thrown aside in pursuit of power. It is a film about human frailty.
