From the sparkling mind of Billy Bob Thornton comes this send-up of the Forrest Gump school of moral philosophy: concepts so simple, only a child can understand them. Wife-beating is bad, and so are the wife-beaters. If the simpletons grasp that so easily, why don't the rest of us? Some say the title doesn't do this film justice. On the contrary..."Sling Blade" tells us exactly what Billy Bob would love to see happen to all the Doyle Hargraves of this world. And there really isn't a whole lot else going on here.
