‘The Rivals Of Amziah King’ Review: Matthew McConaughey And Kurt Russell In Bee Movie Crime Thriller – SXSW


A review of 'The Rivals Of Amziah King' with Matthew McConaughey running a bee honey operation Kurt Russell wants in this Oklahoma-set epic drama.

Director-writer Patterson might have bitten off more than he can chew with all this, but there is no doubt he has created an original world and characters unique and interesting enough to attract the likes of McConaughey (returning to films after a six-year break in which he wrote a book and did voiceover work) and Russell. So when he is not getting down with his band, Amziah King is the charismatic head of the town’s premiere honeybee honey-producing operation, overseeing a ragtag group of associates (and musicians) in this unique business, but also having to fend off a criminal element of the honey industry in this part of the world (Alabama stands in for Oklahoma where Patterson lives and works). Title: The Rivals of Amziah King Festival: SXSW (Narrative Spotlight) Director: Andrew Patterson Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Angelina LookingGlass, Kurt Russell, Jake Horowitz, Rob Morgan, Tony Revolori, Owen Teague, Bruce Davis, Cole Sprouse Sales agent: WME Running time: 2 hr 10 mins
