Critic Reviews

F. X. Feeney

Overall, King of the Jungle never quite achieves a necessary, culminating insight about charity, or mercy -- though Leguizamo's performance puts one in reach. Read full review

A.O. Scott

Mr. Rosenfeld is a writer whose talent shines through in the way he harvests minute pearls. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

Draggy and contrived. Read full review

Jami Bernard

May be the biggest gathering of high-decibel performers in one movie. But they work well together and some are truly excellent. Read full review

Mark Holcomb

Rosenfeld's film doesn't have much of a story to tell and tells it rather routinely. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Robert Wilonsky

Leguizamo is all twitches and spasms; there's not a bit of subtlety in his high-wire performance. By the time you get past it, the film bogs down in dime-store potboiling. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

The merely depressing ultimately gives way to the contrived in Seth Zvi Rosenfeld's King of the Jungle. Read full review
