Über diesen Film

Abel Ferrara's stylish direction accentuates this gritty action film about a New York drug lord (Christopher Walken) who's just out of prison and determined to rule the streets again with a vengeance. But this time, amidst his violent crusade, he also wants to use part of his drug-trade money to do good -- by donating it to a local hospital for the poor. The stellar supporting cast includes Wesley Snipes, David Caruso and Laurence Fishburne.

There was New Jack City and there was King of New York. New Jack won the publicity battle but King is by far the better movie... Where New Jack was all loud and in your face... King was Moody, dark and visually sensual... Both had a great Wesley Snipes character but New Jacks was all surface while King offered a more detailed performance with some nuances. Walken is beyond anything he's done with the exception of Deer Hunter. And Laurence Fisherburn is just delighting in his role... Definitely a must see.

The best movie of all times, the best cast too be put together, and considering that it never was view at the movie theaters. It's the most widely view movie of all the gangster movie's before it time.

Christopher Walken is at his best in this movie! This movie has you rooting for the bad guy!!!
