- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Even if the story is faithful to the way the events played out in real life - and the official description is that the picture is a 'dramatic retelling' - Life of a King couldn't feel more formulaic."
-
"The furious energy with which Mr. Gooding stifles his own intensity becomes a fascinating subtext in what is otherwise a forgettable film."
-
"Any potential flights of invention or creativity are subordinate to the plain and emphatic delivery of life lessons."
-
"Unquestionably well-meaning, this tale of an ex-con who teaches some inner-city teens about discipline through chess treads incredibly familiar emotional terrain."
