Reviews
Despite its thrilling racing sequences, 'King of the Mountain' fails to deliver a cohesive storyline, leaving viewers with an underwhelming experience. The character development is lacking, and the plot feels disjointed at times, making it hard to fully invest in the protagonist's journey. While the performance of Harry Hamlin is commendable, the movie struggles to maintain momentum and falls short of capturing the audience's attention throughout its runtime. Critically acclaimed sites such as IMDb rated 'King of the Mountain' at 5.4/10 and Metacritic at 48/100, indicating a mixed reception among viewers and critics alike.
