ARTHUR THE KING (Released to Theaters USA 2024)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

 Arthur the KingMark Wahlberg—works on the slow side of  storytelling but does give good insight to endurance cross country racing and the enormous amount of skill it takes to do this sport. The movie allows an almost miraculous performance of the dog who keeps showing up in the lives of one team of racers. Watch for Simu Liu from the Marvel movie Shang Chi.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. the film is slow and bland at times, but provides a good look at this sport. The best part of the film is the last 15 to 20 minutes.
