King of New York

King of New York was apparently produced by Silvio Berlusconi, through some intermediaries. Makes the movie about a drug dealer rising to power in New York and then giving the money to the poor slightly more interesting. Because man, it's pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty bad. Abel Ferrara, he of Ms. 45, the 93 version of Body Snatchers, and Bad Lieutenant, still wallows in the muck. I need to work on my interests. Just because it has Christopher Walken doesn't mean it's worth seeing. Especially this film. Seriously, man, just stop watching crappy movies just to say you've seen them. There's a lot of good actors in this film. And David Caruso is also in the film, for that matter. But no one shows that they have any talent. The movie is just both despicable and horrible in every way. Do not see. DO NOT SEE.
