I have just watched Sling Blade, and I was really impressed.
I didn't expect much from Billy Bob Thornton, but I was wrong. His performance is one of the best I've ever seen, he deserved an Oscar for this work. He is of course not the whole movie, but his performance as Karl Childers was just fantastic. I will from now on have a lot of respect for Mr. Thornton.
The rest of the cast also performed very well, maybe I should mention the performance by Dwight Yoakam, he really performed well in the evil role.
You won't have the same feeling after watching this as you had after watching Forrest Gump, but you will be touched.
I would rate this movie 8/10, but it is almost 9/10.
