Call Her King is not your typical action movie. However, it is better than most because it keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole film.
Jaeda King (Naturi Naughton) is a judge, and she is about to make the biggest ruling in her career. Sean Samuels (Jason Mitchell) has been convicted of murder, and King is about to sentence him for his crime. She brought everyone in early to avoid all the press and protestors. That means the courthouse is basically empty.
She will learn quickly that is a huge mistake because Sean’s brother, Gabriel (Lance Gross), has come to break his brother out. And he is not alone. He has carefully planned this attack, and he will kill anyone who gets in his way, including judges, lawyers, and civilians.
Gabriel is a cult leader, and he has people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause. So they walk into that courthouse with guns blazing. They get as far as Judge King’s courtroom. But they can’t get in because the door was locked.
So now she, her bailiff, Sean’s lawyer, and Sean are on the run in the courthouse, doing everything they can get out of there alive.
Little does Gabriel know he messed with the wrong judge. King’s father raised her to believe that her last name means honor. So he taught her how to defend herself. They might think she will be an easy target, but she is proving them wrong.
Who will wind up winning? There will be many twists and turns throughout their cat vs. cat game. You will never know what is going to happen next. All leading to an ending you will never see coming.
If you are looking for something thrilling to watch, then Call Her King, which is streaming on BET+, is exactly what the Blockbuster clerk ordered.
