Abel Ferrara's 'King of New York' is a gritty crime thriller that pulls you into the dark underbelly of the city. It’s got this raw energy, almost chaotic, like you can feel the desperation and the power struggles. Walken’s performance is magnetic—he plays Frank White with this wild intensity that keeps you on edge. The practical effects are brutal and unapologetic, really fitting the film’s atmosphere. The pacing's a bit relentless, weaving through violence and moments of reflection about morality and class. It’s like a modern Robin Hood story but with a sinister twist. You’re left questioning what justice really is in that world. Definitely one of those films that offers more with each rewatch.
