The "King of New York", This film is a masterpiece. The Man Christopher Walken starring as Frank White is a natural. A MUST SEE. A REAL Gangster movie that has had fan`s of even the best rapper`s of the world & mentioned in song`s. An EPIC.
One of my favourite films of this genre with a stellar cast. A dark and fast moving cop/gangster thriller with a mesmerising performance by Christopher Walken at his satanic, angelic best. Unforgettable scenes, great lines and a supporting cast including Laurence Fishburne, David Caruso, Wesley Snipes and Steve Buscemi.
The film has a very basic plot, little character development and no real back story, however it all somehow works very well. The main reason is the excellent acting. Walken always plays villains so well and he's his usual nasty self. Fishborne & snips pop up in early roles and perform well. If you like your gangster films mean and moody then this is for you.
