Reviews for Arthur The King are in, and they might just make you want to see the film.
Based on a true story, the film follows Mark Wahlberg's pro adventure racer Michael Light as he competes in the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic.
Along the way Michael meets a scrappy street dog, who he calls Arthur, and together they forge an unbreakable bond that lasts ten days and 435 miles of gruelling running, climbing, and paddling.
Reviewers are calling Arthur The King a “feelgood drama,” and “cheesy but charming.” Read on below to see what the critics are saying.
The film also features an unlikely cameo from a certain survival expert. Read our Bear Grylls interview: “I've been a huge fan of Mark Wahlberg's stuff forever.”
