Synopsis

Television director Peter O'Fallon made his feature film debut with this independent film that pays obvious homage to the style of Quentin Tarantino, with plenty of violence and funny, talkative hit men. Suave gangster Charlie Barrett (Christopher Walken) meets four young men who have taken over his regular booth at a popular bistro. Charmed by the swaggering kids, he agrees to take a ride with them, but they give him a sedative and he awakens in a deserted mansion, taped to a chair with one of his fingers missing. One of his abductors, Avery (Henry Thomas), says that he has a sister who has been kidnapped and they need two million dollars to get her back, as well as a finger to exchange for her severed digit. Charlie phones his lawyer Marty (Cliff De Young), who calls a henchman, Lono (Denis Leary), who investigates the kidnappings and gives Charlie enough information to start playing each of his inexperienced abductors against the others. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

Suicide Kings: AMG Review
Robert Firsching , AMG

Simultaneously funny, creepy, and violent, this story of wealthy youths who stage an ill-planned abduction of a homicidal mobster is a wickedly nasty treat for crime buffs. The young cast of kidnappers has great chemistry, and manages to be believable in some rather unlikely exchanges with each other and their ruthless, cunning captive Christopher Walken. Denis Leary steals the show as Walken's cynically profane goon, and there are some fine supporting turns by Henry Thomas (E.T.), Jay Mohr (Saturday Night Live), and Johnny Galecki (Roseanne). Gripping and riddled with dark humor, Suicide Kings is an entertaining poisoned confection. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
