Movie Reviews of The Golden Child
Movie Review: The Golden Child
Summary: 5 Stars
Having seen this movie several times I wanted it for my DVD collection. I can't imagine anyone else playing this part but Eddie Murphy. Usually irreverent, he brings a respectfulness for eastern mysticism into a jaded western culture. His humour gives way to heroism in a likeable story of good versus evil.
Summary of The Golden Child
A social worker follows karma and a sacred scroll to save a mystical child from evil in tibet. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/04/2005 Starring: Eddie Murphy Charlotte Lewis Run time: 89 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Michael RitchieThings started going downhill for Eddie Murphy around the time of this 1986 clunker, in which the comic actor plays a social worker predicted to be the savior of a kidnapped child, who has special powers to heal the Earth. Dennis Feldman's script and director Michael Ritchie (The Candidate), a once-thoughtful satirist, stumble over every link in a chain of fantasy-fueled sequences. Murphy phones it in, and Charles Dance (Pascali's Island) looks foolish in retrospect. --Tom Keogh
