Film Review – Call Her King

A few months ago, there was “Mercy,” a low-budget endeavor that tried to sustain “Die Hard” energy with its version of a battle between armed thugs and a lone hero stuck in a single location (in this case, a hospital). The picture didn’t connect but the premise had potential, and filmmakers return to the source with “Call Her King,” which brings “Die Hard” to a courthouse, with gun-toting bad guys hunting for justice while a judge is looking to shut down any rising violence. There’s no touching the 1988 masterpiece, but “Call Her King” gives it a proper B-movie shot. Director Wes Miller tries to keep suspense in play, and he’s open to action as well, working to bring a little tension to formula, with this study of survival and injustice aiming to deliver a more potent message on the justice system while organizing dangerous situations.
