Description:
Now see for yourself -- the powerful motion picture applauded by critics and moviegoers alike, written, directed, and starring Billy Bob Thornton. Twenty five years after committing an unthinkable crime, a quiet man named Karl (Thornton) is finally returning home. Once there, he is befriended by a fatherless boy and his mother. But when his newfound peace is shattered by the mother's abusive boyfriend (Grammy-winner Dwight Yoakam), Karl is suddenly placed on a collision course with his past. Also featuring Robert Duvall, John Ritter, and J.T. Walsh, SLING BLADE is an unforgettable movie experience.

Amazon.com:
Billy Bob Thornton wrote, directed, and starred in this mesmerizing drama with haunting overtones of To Kill a Mockingbird. Thornton plays a mentally retarded man who has spent 20 years in a psychiatric hospital for killing his mother and her lover. Released into the community from which he came, he befriends and protects a lonely boy regularly harassed and abused by his mom's boyfriend (a terrific performance by Dwight Yoakam). The story is ultimately about sacrifice, but Thornton certainly doesn't get twinkly about it. Some of the best material concerns the hero's no-big-deal efforts to integrate into a 'normal' life: working, eating fast food, earning admiration for his handyman skills, and attaining a semblance of community among other damaged souls. John Ritter has a great part as a gay shopkeeper who tries to assuage his own loneliness by spilling his guts out to Thornton's uncomprehending character. --Tom Keogh

- Scary but good.
Sling Blade is a pretty shocking and intense film. Billy Bob Thornton is unrecognizable in this gritty and challenging role. His character has just been released from a mental ward and he befriends a young, sweet boy he has troubled family issues. Sling Blade is a slow cooker kind of film, he starts off slow but the last hour is just pure intensity and madness. John Ritter also stars and he's quite good as well, very under-rated and quiet performance. Gotta see this one, enjoy!

- Your madula oblangatta will hurt for days.
This classic would've gotten 5 stars, but hearing the late great J.T. Walsh use the phrase ''uncircumcized penis'' made me puke up my french fried taters with mustard. l thought John Ritter's character was really funny. Not funny as in queer, funny as in ha-ha.

- changed my life.
i wanted to watch a movie, so my dad brought out "sling blade" to watch. i didn't think much of it.. and i was wrong. this is possibly the most powerful movie i've ever seen. i cried twice during it. it is a work of art, with the way different soundtrack and the powerful message. it is the best movie i've ever seen. i think it's changed my life. i don't think words can explain how much this movie means to me. i can't say much more without spoiling it. please, please watch it. it's deep. the best way to watch it is quietly and only with few other people, with no other distractions.
