Mark Wahlberg plays a man who assembles a sports team to compete in a race across the Dominican Republic in “Arthur the King.” As the competition grinds on, they realize they are being followed by an ailing stray dog who becomes their mascot. Director Simon Cellan Jones (“The Family Plan” 2023) assembled an entertaining adventure film that has good pacing, perfect performances, and great writing from Michael Brandt’s screenplay. This true story was adapted from the 2016 memoir “Arthur – The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home” by Michael Lindnord and Val Hudson.
Co-stars along with Mark Wahlberg includes Simu Liu, Janet Rylance, Nathalie Emmanuel, Ali Suliman, Paul Guilfoyle, Rob Collins, Michael Landes, Bear Grylls as himself, and Ukai as Arthur the King, a stray dog from Equador who really does deliver a memorable performance. The watchable “Arthur the King” is tugging at movie audience’s heart stings all over the world, and is a hit at the box office for producer Mark Wahlberg, eOne Films, Tucker Tooley Entertainment, Mark Canton Productions, and Lionsgate Films.
