The Hollywood Reporter by Boyd van Hoeij

With a slick, outsider’s perspective on the City of Angels and some interesting possibilities that are set up early on, this Message gets off to a great start. But the screenplay becomes a muddle and then a mess in its second half.

The Playlist by Noel Murray

Message from the King isn’t a chore to watch by any means; and there are moments that suggest the more colorful neo-noir that might’ve been.

Movie Nation by Roger Moore

Boseman carries himself with confidence in every role, but the rat hole this picture twists into must have left even him shaken.
