Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review CYN T I think it is pretty cool that Clark Duke wrote the adapted screenplay, directed, and acted in this. It was reminiscent of a Tarantino film. I enjoyed it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Brian H Arkansas: A Gritty Tale of Crime and Consequences "Arkansas" is a compelling journey into the heart of America's underbelly, where the lines between right and wrong blur in the pursuit of survival. Directed by Clark Duke, this film is a masterful blend of dark humor and suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The narrative unfolds with a clever structure, weaving together the lives of two small-time drug dealers, Kyle (Liam Hemsworth) and Swin (Clark Duke), as they navigate the treacherous waters of the Southern drug underworld. The film's portrayal of these characters is both raw and endearing, making you root for them despite their flawed decisions. John Malkovich delivers a standout performance as Ranger Bright, a drug kingpin with a twisted sense of morality. His interactions with Kyle and Swin are both menacing and oddly humorous, showcasing Malkovich's range as an actor. "Arkansas" shines in its ability to balance the tension of a crime thriller with the levity of Southern charm. The dialogue crackles with authenticity, and the film's atmosphere is rich with the gritty reality of life on the fringes. It's a story that's as much about the human condition as it is about crime, making it a thought-provoking piece that lingers long after the credits roll. In conclusion, "Arkansas" is a must-watch for fans of neo-noir and crime dramas. It's a film that pays homage to the genre while carving out its own unique place in the cinematic landscape. With strong performances, sharp writing, and an engaging plot, "Arkansas" is a standout film that deserves its place in the spotlight. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Scott B I loved the soundtrack and characters. This movie is a lost gem of the quarantine era. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Mark K I thought the actors did a decent job, but I gave it a one-star due to the lame storyline. The writers needed some honest feedback before they started filming and shame on everyone who encouraged this production. It seemed like the movie lasted for three hours and I wanted my money back as this was time wasted that I can't get back. Worst movie we've watched in a while.
