Moviegoers are saying
King Ivory delivers a gritty, Traffic-inspired crime thriller that tackles the fentanyl crisis with authentic Oklahoma grit, but struggles under the weight of its ambitious multi-storyline approach. While James Badge Dale and Ben Foster anchor strong performances in this slow-burn character study, audiences find themselves wanting more from a film that feels simultaneously too long and underdeveloped.

While this slick film wants to use their stories to put faces to the fentanyl epidemic, Swab’s genre instincts get the better of him.

Unfortunately the film is both overlong and underdeveloped.
