Review of Sling Blade

Sling Blade (1996)
10/10
Should have been nominated for an Academy Award
29 March 2000
If anyone wants to see great acting, directing,editing, and casting,they should see this movie. Faultless acting throughout but especially brilliant performance by Billy Bob Thornton. Had this movie had a bigger box office, then he would have gotten at least a nomination, as well as the movie getting a "Best Picture" nomination. The movie starts out in low key where many might stop watching. But the movie has a kind of addictive quality as familiarization with the characters takes hold. Great example of the quality of movie that Hollywood can make when box office isn't the prime goal.
