- Synopsis
- Christopher Walken is a Mobster who gets chummy with a group of preppie-like young men and becomes the victim of a kidnapping scheme. One of the kidnappers (Henry Thomas) has a sister who's been abducted by another group of kidnappers, and they've bagged Walken for his Mob connections and negotiating power. What follows is a game of psychological strategy in which the desperate group of guys slowly lose their advantage to the smarter, more experienced gangster--even though they've got Walken tied to a chair. The situation turns volatile when the young men start to doubt the wisdom of their strategy and suspect betrayal within the group.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"For those who aren't offended by extreme profanity and violence, Suicide Kings offers a kinetic and surprisingly funny two hours."
-
"Just when you thought it was safe to go to the movies without sitting through another imitation of early Quentin Tarantino, along comes Suicide Kings."
-
"Satisfying, unpretentious fun."
-
"The premise of this neither dark nor funny movie--which wants to be both--is that it's somehow ironic when wealthy characters are motivated by greed."
-
"For most of its duration, 'Suicide Kings' turns into something like a hoary murder-mystery theatre piece in the Agatha Christie tradition."
