This low-budget crime thriller has the feel of a major blockbuster and owes its roots to the hard-edged crime movies of the 1930s. Christopher Walken stars as a drug kingpin who is released from prison and vows to use his position and influence--and criminal enterprise--for charitable means. But a core group of New York cops are all over him and his gang, determined to go to war, whatever the cost, to bring him down. Eventually his empire--headquartered at, of all places, Donald Trump's Plaza Hotel--crumbles under the weight of double-crossing and a body count of open warfare with the cops. This is one of the most stylish films of the last decade, with a strong supporting cast (including Lawrence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, and David Caruso) and some truly enthralling set pieces, including a stunning car chase and gunfight across a rain-soaked Queensboro Bridge. The film's tongue-in-cheek, over-the-top style offsets its nihilism; and its riveting visuals will have audiences hooked from beginning to end. --Robert Lane

5 Star Flick May 15, 2009
B. King (Pittsburgh, Pa)
This movie is a young Walken at his best. The rest of the cast is mediocre but it's a couple hours of watching Walken be his greatest character. I wish the character could have pull a Freddy Kruger and come back to life for 5 or 6 sequels.
Great movie March 8, 2009
Abaddon (Colorado)
What an excellent movie. Cool to see all the actors when they were so young.
This Is One Nasty-And-Stylish Story March 4, 2009
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
Now here's a film with a mean edge....very mean....almost too mean. If I didn't like Christopher Walken (and who doesn't?) I wouldn't have watched this low- life trash story. But, Walken makes the trash fashionable somehow. Plus, I always like looking at great nighttime shots of New York City.
A nice job of restoration was done on the two-disc Special Edition DVD. The film finally looks good. This is stylishly filmed, too. That's anoher reason I bought this DVD. I like the visuals.
Story-wise, as mentioned, it's very rough, lots of f-words, and a simple story of a crime boss who is released from jail and is trying to reclaim his hold on the city's mob scene.
It's an interesting cast. Besides Walken is a trio of actors who wound up becoming stars: David Caruso (a TV star), Lawrence Fishburne and Wesley Snipes. All of them are nasty, too. Sometimes they make Walken look good in comparison. Unfortunately, two of those guys are cops and filmmakers love to make the cops into unlikable bad guys. They certainly are here.
So, if you're feeling some hostility and want a nasty flick, just flip this disc in your DVD and it should be what the doctor ordered. If you can relate to any of these people in this movie, call a minister, priest, rabbi or psychiatrist. You need help.
