Review of Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade (1994) by Shawn-Ray M — 18 Jan 2010
Having never seen Sling Blade I decided to watch the short film that inspired it to see if it's something I would be interested in watching. This 25 minute short film was pretty impressive. Thornton is one of the actors that I can take or leave but never really disappoints me.
To see how much he transforms himself for the role of Karl Childers is almost as shocking as the character himself. It's an interesting movie that really felt like it was leading into a larger story.
Molly Ringwald came off a little flat, however, but then there wasn't a whole lot to her role, either. At any rate, it definitely inspired interest in me to check out the feature length film.
