This film has some boring scenes and some exciting ones. The cast does a good job in this story. The screen play has a lot of typical moments you find in crime films. Overall I would recommend this film.

Despicable characters, with bizarre motivations, making awful decisions every step of the way. Much like At Close Range, a good Walken performance alone does not make a good movie.

Despite all the sex and killing, the message seems fairly conventional (violence begets violence) or even conservative (crime doesn't pay). Even the moral ambiguity - the police aren't much better than the gangsters, there's a thin line between the criminal underworld and respectable professionals and politicians - seems a bit derivative and it ultimately pulls its punches: the one more or less unambiguously good guy is a cop. It's well made though and Walken is great as usual.

Like a crossbreed of The Wire and Grand Theft Auto splashed with a bucket of exploitation paint. Walken is fucking amazing, and this is one of my favorite things I've seen him do. Maybe his best?

Not sure how this one escaped me all these years. Gritty crime drama that gets right into the action and stays there.

This 90s-to-the-max film never manages to project the epic, "kingly" scale it seems to be aspiring to. It's almost as if Ferrara was forced to pare a 4-hour movie back to the bare bones, and it's much the worse for it. It's obvious that many characters have much more to say. Some of the—brutal—action scenes are great, though, and Walken carries the whole thing with verve.

a hellaciously violent, uber-quotable action classic of masterful formal control and detail, shot through with a disquieting, fatalistic beauty. double bill it with COSMOPOLIS, another suffocating modern vampire movie in which an "undead" "businessman" attempts to reawaken himself by "nobly" putting a wrench in the inscrutable system of an alienating nu-new york corporatized and commodified to abstraction.
