KING IVORY distributed by ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS (2025). This police thriller was released in limited US theaters on Nov. 14, 2025. It might go wider depending on how it does in attendance at movie theaters.
I went to see "King Ivory" here in Albuquerque at a 10pm showing.
There are many films focusing on drugs. This story targets the distribution and sale of Fentanyl which is called “King Ivory.” Two police officers join a task force to arrest and convict local city drug dealers.
Holt Lightfeather is played by the late Graham Greene who is serving a life sentence in prison. He is a Native drug lord who runs the illegal fentanyl distribution in the state of Oklahoma. He owns this territory with other Native dealers.
Lightfeather is seen very little throughout this movie. He is behind prison walls whose far reach controls other drug dealers. If and when they cross into his Oklahoma territory. He is a total menace.
The police task force plans on taking down any drug dealer connected to Lightfeather.
Fentanyl is now the drug of choice instead of cocaine and/or heroin. It is home-made and 50 times more potent than heroin. The film shows us how fentanyl is distributed on the streets. Including the sale to high school teens.
“King Ivory” is a solid police thriller. Since I’m Native/Indigenous. I was intrigued by the story surrounding the Natives of Oklahoma. Albeit drug dealers. Graham Greene was just plain evil as Lightfeather.
A side note. The big surprise in this film is a scene inside the men’s locker room. A male cop goes full frontal naked. Why? I don’t know. It is the year 2025 and I hear that frontal nudity is more common by men - with internet TV shows.
Check out “King Ivory” in theaters now. Especially for one of Graham Greene’s final performances before his death - earlier this year. THX. Roscoe Pond.
