TULSA KING: A MUST WATCH MOVIE

Source

I'm a fan of Sylvester Stallone, not because he's a brilliant actor, but because of all the contributions he made to film throughout his lifetime, which for me constituted a milestone in the mainstream. I could say straight away that the series is nice, but it is not a great masterpiece. Nevertheless, it is enjoyable, and I'll explain why once I've explained what the series is about.

The series follows the life of mobster Dwight Manfredi, also known as The General of New York City and portrayed by Sylvester Stallone, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison. After his conviction, he discovered that the mafia had changed and that there was no reward for his sacrifice in prison.

At the age of 75, his criminal family instructed him to establish operations for them with a meager weekly stipend in Tulsa, an incredibly peaceful town in the state of Oklahoma, where he must start from scratch in a setting he is unfamiliar with, unaccustomed to, and in which he must struggle to fit in.

Dwight quickly realizes that if he wants to make money, he can't rely on his criminal family. As a result, he must take advantage of this seemingly lawless city to establish his own criminal empire. However, in order to do this, he needs allies, supporters, and opportunities to make quick, easy money.

Surprisingly, on his first day, he makes friends with a young, ambitious black taxi driver who quickly becomes his driver and confidant. Together, they recruit other unique individuals, including the proprietor of a "legal" cannabis shop who ends up being his golden goose, while he makes an effort to get in touch with his family, which he lost after spending years in prison.

Starting with the role of Dwight Manfredi played by Sylvester Stallone, which happens to be perfect for him because it was definitely developed for his acting style, I think that the series has a good premise, with very good ideas that fit very well in reality when telling mobster stories.

Another idea I liked was that this kind of plot always works: a character who travels to a strange place where he doesn't seem to fit in because of how different his appearance and way of life are from the local culture. He then has to work hard to establish himself as a respected member of society while also educating himself about the modern world and how money is exchanged.

Everything appears amazing so far, but something doesn't seem to entirely match in the first episode. For instance, you can't comprehend how a mafia boss who just came out of jail seems to be popular with everyone, especially ladies.

He makes the man he extorts in the marijuana shop his accomplice and even instructs him on how to do brand-new technical crimes using Bitcoins.

Never have I witnessed somebody take up a song so quickly.
He rapidly wins the allegiance of many strangers as he expands his criminal empire, backing him in his crimes almost mindlessly and even teaming up with him in new business projects. Amazingly, they don't even object to his demands for employment opportunities that benefit him.

The protagonist wins the trust of others quite fast.
What is perhaps a little unsettling is how quickly all of this occurs; in just a few episodes, you have already made him the ruler of Tulsa, and everyone submits to him. Suddenly, other series have gotten us used to characters achieving all of this over the course of several seasons, which, by the way, are released over time so that we can feel a character's development.

But after giving it some thought, I've come to the conclusion that this is the reason I liked the series so much. It has a simple plot that isn't overly complicated, and the truth is revealed in the final episode. It's almost like I needed a break from that, so perhaps that's why I liked the series; it has given me rest and been pure entertainment.

Overall, the series is pure entertainment, so I suggest it if you're tired of watching intense movies and TV shows. If you enjoy action scenes directed by a cool guy like Sylvester Stallon, this is a good choice for you to watch without forming specialized movie critic thought patterns.

Thanks for your time
