One of the kidnappers (Henry Thomas) has a sister who's been abducted by another group of kidnappers, and they've bagged Walken for his Mob connections and negotiating power. What follows is a game of psychological strategy in which the desperate group of guys slowly lose their advantage to the smarter, more experienced gangster--even though they've got Walken tied to a chair. The situation turns volatile when the young men start to doubt the wisdom of their strategy and suspect betrayal within the group, and Suicide Kings turns into a talky, repetitious thriller only partially redeemed by Denis Leary's cagey role as Walken's Mob lieutenant. The movie's a showcase for its cast of rising talent (including Jay Mohr, Jeremy Sisto, Johnny Galecki, and Sean Patrick Flanery), but not even Walken can hold it all together. What's best about the film is Leary's sinister presence in a peripheral role and Walken's trademark villainy, here toned down to a steady, simmering menace. --Jeff Shannon Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Great Movie! A suspensful movie with a great twist and an amazing cast. Would be a great gift for any fan of Christopher Walkin! Rating: - Walken is the man!! Recently Walken's mannerisms have become familiar and he's been imitated by SNL performers and other impersonators. It's easy to forget how good he can be. Suicide Kings is an old movie but didn't get a lot of distribution when it launched. There are some familiar faces, Dennis Leary, Jeremy Sisto of Law & Order/6 ft. under; ET's Henry Thomas, Jay Mohr, Brad Garett. The basic plot is that several friends try to save their friend's sister who's been kidnapped by capturing Walken, a criminal ... Read More Rating: - Suicide Kings Review In this dark comedy, Christopher Walken shines as a mobster abducted by five friends (including Jay Mohr and Henry Thomas). These guys believe Walken can solve the kidnapping of one of their sisters. As Walken plays mind games, his captors splinter, each wondering whether one of them had a hand in the crime. The DVD is chock-full of fascinating extras. Rating: - This mob film has it all Christopher Walken is a former organized crime figure that gets kidnapped by a group of preppies that hold him for ransom. (This happens right up front in the story so I'm not giving anything away). The kidnappers realistically come off as bungling amateurs. Walken's presence is overwhelming (even duct taped to a chair) and he looms large over the whole story. Great perfomance. Throughout the film, the viewer keeps anticipating, "Somebody is going to really get hurt here". They do, of course. ... Read More Rating: - I Give This Film Five Cowbells Is Christopher Walken the Man or what? For the first hour or so I thought Walken was essentially in paycheck mode deferring to his young co-stars(Jay Mohr, Henry Thomas, Johnny Golicki, et al), who aren't bad by the way, while he's duct-taped to a wheelchair slowly bleeding to death from a dismembered digit. Then the Walken-ator jumps into action and the wheels are in motion. You watch him size up his captors and turn the situation around to his advantage. Was there any doubt! As a bonus you also get ...
