Suicide Kings

 

Suicide Kings 1997

• Director: Peter O’Fallon
• Cast: Christopher Walken, Johnny Galecki·      
• Why? Christopher Walken
• Once before. Now 21 January 2026 

       One given plus: Christopher Walken. One given minus: it’s about the mafia. Boring.

       A gang of young rich punks decide to kidnap the mafia boss (Walken).

       It starts out as a slapstick comedy, which doesn’t work, and ends up heavy, which doesn’t work.

       OK, Walken is good, as always, and it’s fun to see The Big Bang Theory’s Leonard as the neurotic poor little rich boy.

       Otherwise, it’s not much to brag about.
