A surprisingly good movie. King of California stars Michael Douglas and the lovely Evan Rachel Wood. It’s a father daughter treasure hunt story. The father is a crazy man and the daughter is a precocious old soul. The story is generic but the characters are kinda interesting. Miss Wood is lovely. I think she has a very bright future in front of her. She’s not your typical teen actress. She has depth and is on the dark side. I think she could blossom into a premier actress in Hollywood. These underdog redemption stories are only good if you feel for the character. Maybe, my age makes me take more heart with this film. Being a certain age makes you stressed about financial success. Since the main character is a father who never made anything of himself, i ended up routing for the hero. I wanted him to succeed. It’s a good dvd find. Only wish there was a love story mixed in for Rachel Wood. It would have been nice to see. Corny at times, but worth renting. Thumbs up.
