Blu-ray Reviews of King Of New York [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: 1990 crime flick surprises
Summary: 4 Stars
This cultish film stars Christopher Walken in one of his most memorable roles as the gangster Frankie White. The movie opens with Frankie being freed from prison and reestablishing his presence in the the New York world of crime. Somewhat oddly enough he wants to clean up things and help build a hospital in a destitute part of the city. But he gets little respect from those now occupying the various parts of the city, and this leads to his systematic slaughter of one crime lord after another, including members of the police force who wish to rid the city of him.
There are many early film appearances by actors like Steve Buscemi, Wesley Snipes, Larry Fishburne, and David Caruso in this movie. Abel Ferrara's film surprises with its excellent car chase segment, gun fights, and dark travels through the bowels of New York. A segment of the classic black and white film "Nosferatu" appears on screen which acts as a clue to the director's influences. The "King of New York" embraces the shadows and blue monochromes of a nightclub in homage to early film history. Martin Scorsese comes to mind when watching this film, especially with a film like "Taxi Driver", which ends with the spiraling camera. Here too is a unique ending as Frankie is left alone in the taxi cab, his life fading, as the police officers surround him in growing numbers in this crowded and choked street of blocked vehicles.
This is a surprisingly engaging, and violent film, that has influenced other film makers, like Quentin Tarantino. The blu-ray quality of this movie isn't too special as the original film has a rough and grainy quality which isn't enhanced much with blu-ray. There are additional features like "A Short Film about the Long Career of Abel Ferrara", and "The Adventures of Schoolly D: Snowboarder".
