Here's another gritty independent film that tries to invade Tarantino territory by casting Christopher Walken--that most reliable of indie-film actors--as a Mobster who gets chummy with a group of preppie-like young men and becomes the victim of a kidnapping scheme. 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

Walken is the man!! October 25, 2008
Lewis D. (Utah)
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 with money. The friends get Walken to contact his people to put up the ransom money. Simple enough, but Walken plays a man who knows the young men are over their heads and probes them to find their weaknesses. There are a few twists along the way. It is an enjoyable watch.

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.
