Review of Funeral Kings (2012) by Jonny C — 17 Sep 2015

Funeral Kings is a movie that I happened to find on Netflix with nothing else to watch, so I gave it a chance It had like 4.1 stars in Netflix so I figured check it out and to be honest it was pretty good. Funeral Kings is about two 14 year old altar boys who like to steal wine, skip school and smoke cigarettes. They both really just want to hook up with some older girls and get themselves into trouble. they acquire a chest full of goods that they need to get open and when they do they find a gun that they want to play with, but they need to find bullets for the gun which is basically the base of all the problems they run into as well as trying to watch R rated movies. Its a pretty good look at the way today's kids looks to be more adult and like and emulate the things they see on TV at a much younger age then when we were kids especially in smaller towns and cities. I found the acting to be pretty good especially for a cast made up of mostly children, the stand out by far was Alex Maizus as Charlie Waters who just killed it as the kid with the big mouth that every adult knows they hate, hahaha. I also liked Charles Kwame Odei in his smaller role. The directing in the movie was pretty good, the story and writing were also pretty good I loved the slow motion scenes after they did something bad ass. overall I say this movie is worth a watch, especially if you have Netflix and have run out of things to watch.

6/10.
