Suicide Kings


I really liked the idea of this movie. A group of young guys kidnapp a mafia don, Carlo Bartolucci (Christopher Walken). It just intrigued the hell out of me. I love the mafia and this seemed like a fresh look at it.

The group of guys (Johnny Galecki, Sean Patrick Flannery, Jay Mohr, Henry Thomas) are pretty much cliches that could be replaced by any young actor, except for Galecki. He brings that nervous angst that only he can do. He's so funny in that "Would you relax?" vein of things. The highlight of the film though is Denis Leary as Bartolucci's Right Hand Man. He gives a new reason to always have a toaster in the house.

Probably not my best review here, but it's not exactly a movie with a lot to work with. I give Suicide Kings a C.
