Review of Outlaw King (2018) by Jluis_001 — 15 Nov 2018
I had high expectations for this film but the truth is that it fell quite short. If weren't for the battle sequences this story would have been very boring. And it's not that I'm against a story with its respective doses of betrayals and fights for thrones between kings and princes but honestly Outlaw King is simply a film unable to respond with sufficient quality to the size and ambition of its production.
Chris Pine is not up to a role like this, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson overacts too much. Those who deserve a mention despite the short screen time they have are the young Florence Pugh and the veteran Stephen Dillane after that, the film doesn't really have anything more memorable to mention.
The production shows that they invested a lot but seeing it well it would have been a colossal failure at the box office.
Incredibly respectable that Netflix is distributing it but one must wonder how many more risks will they be taken with productions of this caliber that don't deliver the expected dividends.
