"The King of New York" tells of a crime boss (Walken) who leaves prison and implements his plan for a better NYC through a unique method of fund raising: Kill all the top tier drug pushers, take their smack, and sell it on the streets. What ensues in a bunch of firefights with huge body counts, some T&A running around, some cops running around, everyone cursing and shooting at everyone else, and somewhere in and amongst all that perhaps even a plot. A stylish crime flick with good technicals, art, and casting, "King..." falls on its face as a character study, is sorely lacks in story, and pushes the reality envelop beyond all reason. For crime film buffs only. (C+)
