Suicide Kings

DIRECTED BY: Paul O'Fallon

REVIEWED: 05-18-98

Five cute boys, none of whom are named "Skeet" or "Ethan," kidnap a mob boss in order to save one of the boy's sister from some other kidnappers. The mob boss is played against type by Christopher Walken, who has never played a mob boss before, not even in King of New York or Last Man Standing or True Romance. This film starts out with a little style and humor, but quickly loses steam until it's reduced to a pointless and boring series of flashbacks and speeches. Best to wait for the video, and then not rent it.
