Customer Reviews of King of the Jungle
what was that? This movie is all over the place. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take from it besides confusion. This movie had to have the single worst ending I have ever seen. Don't waste your time.
Acting at it's Finest, Storytelling at it's Worst.
King of the Jungle was filled with fine performances by John Leguizamo, Rosie Perez, and Michael Rappaport, but the story was lacking. I watched from beginning to end wondering: WHY DID THIS THUG HAVE SUCH A NEED TO KILL JOHN LEGUIZAMO'S MOTHER (Julie Carmen)? Never was this truly explained, even in brief conversations with the punk's mother (Annabella Sciorra), who was apparently a hooker. I enjoyed watching these excellent portrayals, and was even moved by the acting of John Leguizamo as a mentally handicapped adult, yet was baffled by the simple question of...Why?
Unique characters, fine acting and good story. I liked it.
This 2001 film stars John Leguisamo as Seymour, a mentally challenged young man on the tough streets of New York. He has the mind of a five year old, and yearns to be accepted. His mother, Julie Carmen, a civil rights activist, babies her son and tries to protect him. His divorced father, Cliff Gorman, tries to deny that anything is wrong with his son. Rosie Perez, his mother's lover, tries to help him. And so does a friend, Jeff Rappaport, who tries to teach him to fight and see himself as "king of the jungle."
Seymour's troubled world is shattered when his mother is murdered. That's when everything seems to spin out of control. The story pulled me in and kept me there because I wanted to see how it would all play out. Marisa Tomei plays a small role as a tough detective. And Annabella Sciorra plays the murderer's mother. It's a fine cast and they all do a good job.
I liked the film. It's tight, moves fast, and introduces some unique and interesting characters. And John Leguisamo shines in a difficult role. Recommended.
