[Director Thompson] has a particular ally in Plummer, a bashed-up presence more compelling than a dozen stage-school brats, displaying a fortitude you warm to even as you're watching all cockiness being kicked from his form.

Rating: B- --
First-time writer-director Felix Thompson demonstrates good instincts for two of King Jack's standard three acts.

AV Club
There is some alchemy at work in this entirely uncomplicated yet viscerally affecting film from Felix Thompson about a summer when everything changes.
New York Times
[T]hanks to a strongly rooted lead performance by Charlie Plummer as a 15-year-old small-town kid who’s well on his way to a stint in juvenile detention, KING JACK still strikes a resonant chord.
Los Angeles Times
It's a tribute to Thompson's humane sensitivity to character detail that its concluding jolt of affirmation feels fully, inspirationally earned.

Village Voice
Though Thompson clearly has a facility with young actors, as nearly every performance in the film is very good, it's not enough to save the film from mediocre clichés and poor dialogue baked into the script.

Thanks to a strongly rooted lead performance by Charlie Plummer as a 15-year-old small-town kid who's well on his way to a stint in juvenile detention, "King Jack" still strikes a resonant chord.
