Yes, the cast and the movie are damn good. I just watched it a few days ago, not expecting much, but I was pretty surprised. Interesting engrossing story, great acting, this is a little cheaply made but well directed and superbly played sleeper, it will get its followers.
NOT as good as STATE OF GRACE, but also not that much worse.
Recently I saw for example the re-make of ASSAULT ON PRECINT 13, which is utterly awful, as worse as it can get.
Compared to junk like this ONE EYED KING is a real treat, something to look out for and certainly enjoy.
I even found it better - because of being more realistic - than the high-speed Marin Scorsese junk "THE DEPARTED", which won Oscars for delivering hardly anything.
Nice little gem, this ONE EYED KING !
