Sling Blade . . . a riveting drama set in rural Arkansas . . . Well known as an outstanding actor in Raimi’s “A Simple Plan,” Forster’s “Monster’s Ball,” and the Coen Bros’ “The Man Who Wasn’t There,” this was Billy Bob Thorntons screenplay writing and directorial breakout. He also plays the lead role as a severely mentally disabled but functional Karl Childers. His immersive performance is spectacular, showing his depth of skill and well deserving its Best Actor Oscar nomination. Without the films credits, you wouldnt know its Thornton. His portrayal of Karl Childers is in a class with Tom Hanks Forrest Gump, Dustin Hoffmans Rain Man, Leonardo DiCaprios Gilbert Grape, and just about every feature film role Gary Oldman has done.
