Christopher Walken has been in some really bad movies but his performance is always so fun that he makes even the worst movie watchable while he is on screen. That is why, when he is in a truly good movie like King of New York, his performance can make a good movie fantastic. Walken stars as Frank White, a drug dealer who just got out of prison and wants to rise back to the top. With his gang of dangerous thugs (including Laurence Fishburne, Giancarlo Esposito, and Steve Buscemi), he starts taking out all of the competition, while talking to people in power about wanting to become the mayor. Meanwhile, some frustrated cops (David Caruso, Wesley Snipes, James Lorinz) take a personal interest in White, and when they can't bring him down with the legal system, they try to play by his rules and take him out in a massive gun fight. Almost everyone dies, but not White, and he goes back to the cops to get his own revenge. King of New York was a really cool movie with some excellent performances.
