Where to Watch Sling Blade
- Master Maverick26 oktober 2025What I appreciated about this movie mostly was the acting. The story itself lacked in many things. But what it did not lack in was I would say realism. That is what I think made this movie a good movie. Credits to all the actors, but mostly Billy Bob Thornton for pulling off the character known as Carl. I am 100% believed he was Carl.
