Rating: 2/5 --
Though based on a true story, it's presented with none of a docudrama's ragged, lumpy oddity: the narrative is on the lean side, but as taut and burnished as the bodies it depicts.

Rating: 1.5/5 --
King Cobra takes an interesting true crime and covers it in exploitative sex, pedophilic overtures and acting that would make a high school drama teacher cringe.

Rating: C+ --
Slater and Franco are compelling in their roles, but King Cobra's jarring use of humor overly blurs the line between drama and satire while leaving a lot left unpacked.

To say it feels reasonably authentic doesn't mean it's very good.

Rating: 4/5 --
The film is critical of how we allow the buying and selling of people, all culminating in the shocking real events that the story illustrates so vivid.

Rating: 3/4 --
"King Cobra" is compelling and erotic, provocative and foreboding, catching the eye and, ultimately, in one's throat.

The unique setting aside, there's just not much to sink your fangs into.

Product Description:
When a rising gay porn star (Garrett Clayton) feels he's not being paid what he's worth, he leaves his producer (Christian Slater) to become a free agent, and soon turns to a rival filmmaker who has financial problems of his own (James Franco). Justin Kelly wrote and directed this crime drama, which is based on the true story of former adult star Sean Paul Lockhart.
