The Paramount+ streaming service released the release of the new series “King of Tulsa” with Sylvester Stallone in the title role.
In the career of an actor for more than 5 years, there were no worthy ones, no films were looking for suitable projects. And now, it seems, the situation has begun to change in the opposite direction.
We have already reviewed the novelty and are in a hurry to share our impressions. Only now, although the series came out in the night? Because the first season just ended.
The brutality in the series just rolls over
Sylvester Stallone is clearly not going to profit and continues to act in films and beyond. And he was able to surprise once again.
What is the series aboutDwight Manfredi, nicknamed The General, is released after a quarter of a century. The boss sends him into the wilderness – to Tulsa, Oklahoma – to organize a criminal network there.
The General takes the matter seriously and creates a new criminal empire.
From the first episodes it can be seen that the hands of the authors of the legendary Sopranos lay here. In particular, I’m talking about this Terence Winter, who used to be a project. Don’t forget to mention it in the credits as well.
Besides, same writers involved in Ozark, Sons of Anarchy, and Yellowstone. So expect a project of another level is not necessary.
The story can hardly be called entertaining and multi-layered, but this is not required in the series. In a rather simple, at first glance, plot, important topics are raised and the life of the actor himself is actively realized.
In this project, the skills of showrunners and participatory performers are brought to the fore. Stallone seems to in place premiered long after the completion of The Rocky Balboa Story. Now he cannot play with muscles, but on his full face he shows his acting skills.
Stallone is completely devoted to his profession and shows high skills of craftsmanship. Due to his charisma, it is pleasant and interesting to follow him. The actor literally attracts the eye and does not let go of the screen for a minute. And, of course, he brutally destroys others and builds his empire, all according to the precepts of a criminal leader.
The good news is that the rude demand of former gangsters is not so common, it is rather an extreme measure. On the contrary, he tries manners and emotions in deciding what points of observation and locations arise from.
The character of Stallone also has a personal drama, which makes it even more possible to feel the hero and begin to empathize with him.
Together with a serious lover have fun not only shootouts (there are not very many of them here), but also humor. And although there are not so many jokes, they are all skilfully placed and suitable for certain situations, and also never slide down to the lower level.
In general, the story will be absolutely understandable to everyone, although not everyone will probably like it.
picture fire
The visual component of the picture is my mail. Even taking into account the fact that no emphasis is placed on efficiency, there is a lot of it here. When it comes to a fight, the operators come up with rare solutions and show it in style on the screen.
It doesn’t even matter what there is very little real action in the series. But it is placed exactly where it should be. But don’t expect an Expendables-level disaster. There is no such thing here. However, natural sensations are felt and arise from the first days.
Before us, although the relatively small city of Tulsa (population about 390 thousand people) in the state of Oklahoma, there were a lot of locations for the novelty, and they are all diverse. On some authors, the authors try not to get hung up, constantly mixing them with each other. So you won’t get tired of watching. Yes, and timing does not allow – each series lasts up to 40 minutes, and more is not necessary.
I would especially like to point out music. There are no pop tunes here, and the emphasis is on classic country, blues and rock and roll. And that only increases the likelihood can increase locally.
Must see
“King of Tulsa” is a rare representative of a good series about the criminal world. Recently, mediocre projects have appeared more often, and the novelty looks like a breath of fresh air, but with its own specifics.
Well, a stone, Sylvester Stallone starred here. It should have attracted attention from the very beginning.
A peppy action movie with select, rare but captivating action scenes with drama and charismatic characters – what more do you need for a good episode? I recommend viewing.
