Movie No. 21 (2017): KING COBRA

King Cobra (2016)
Director: Justin Kelly
Cast: James Franco, Christian Slater, Garret Clayton, Keegan Allen, Alicia Silverstone

The story is based on the so-called "Cobra Murder" involving a pornographer. The movie, however, is interested in the rise of a gay porn superstar called Brent Corrigan and his connection to the murder. James Franco and Christian Slater are cast as competing pornographers. 

The movie lacks substance. Blame it to poor script and editing. Even James Franco and Christian Slater, who could have positive contribution to the movie, are just caricatures. The movie looks like smut. It could have been as great as Boogie Nights but it fails miserably.

Rating: 1.5/4.0

Date seen: April 1, 2017
