walken is cool as ever

[Ferrara] works unapologetically in B-movie territory, but does it with A-movie style.

Containing performances and and an attitude that is gleefully over-the-top, it's a bit of good fun.January 01, 2000
Walken is one of the few undeniably charismatic male villains of recent years; he can generate a snakelike charm that makes his worst characters the most memorable, and here he operates on pure style.

Review by Mike Martin - It looks fantastic, and there is an air of real menace to proceedings, but seems to belong to another age somehow.March 26, 2009
Complementing Walken's bravura turn are equally flamboyant performances by David Caruso as the young Irish cop out to destroy Walken, and Larry Fishburne as Walken's slightly crazy aide-de-camp.December 19, 2006
Ferrara began to be taken more seriously by critics with this operatic crime film, which was shown at the NY Film Festival, where it elicited walkouts (including helmer's wife) along with praise.January 01, 2000
A hepped-up film about drugs that plays as if the filmmakers themselves kept a healthy supply of the stuff at hand.May 26, 2006
Ferrara's dangerous vision of the city at night goes beyond what most creampuff directors are capable of; he gets to the core of everything from the silent, dark windows of towering penthouses to the vicious rattling of crime-ridden subways.June 24, 2006
A film which, despite splendid location work, lurches sloppily and messily from kill to kill, orgy to orgy, coke to crack, cliché to cliché.September 26, 2009
King of New York's storyline is pretty one-note, but there's an energy and aura of fear lingering in every gritty composition.
