I have been wanting to watch King of California for some time now. Finally got a chance yesterday. The movie is a delightful treat, and looks at madness, relationships, treasure hunting in a whole new light. It’s one of Michael Douglas’s more unusual roles and he sports a really weird look for the movie. Of course, as usual he turns in a splendid performance while the rest of the cast is equally good.
Here is the summary from IMDB:
KING OF CALIFORNIA stars Michael Douglas as a fresh-out-of-the-mental institution father, and Evan Rachel Wood as his emancipated teenage daughter, as they venture together on a quest for an ancient Spanish treasure buried beneath their local Costco in this in this darkly funny, exciting and surprisingly hopeful take on the modern family and the American dream.
What I loved about the movie is the way the movie showed the various facets of life and the wonderful twist in the end of the movie. Another thing I liked is the way the story progressed alternating between the California of the Spanish diary describing the route to the treasure and the modern day California.
The movie is a great watch and if you get the chance do see it.
