The King of Marvin Gardens particularly surprises the community of Jack Nicholson fans, as Nicholson, to the director's surprise, chose the role of the more subdued of the two brothers, David. It is a very unconventional role in Nicholson's filmography, where he is extremely reserved and employs understated character acting. The film is a psychological study of two different life approaches, with David representing a factual and rational perspective, whereas Jason offers an emotional view of the world. The criminal plot is not crucial and primarily serves to intensify the dramatic conflict between the brothers. It's not an exceptional film but a decently watchable psychological drama. Overall impression: 60%.
