Critic's review of Black Knight
View all (1)
- A sort of hip hop version of Mark Twain's venerable story of a modern man taken back in time that brings an occasional smile, though Martin Lawrence's humour does not travel well.

  Martin Lawrence should read a script before signing the contact
  
  A far cry from Lawrence's hay day in 'Bad Boys' and 'Life'. He overacted something thronic and probably only did it for the 16.5 million ... read more »
