Where SCARFACE & GOODFELLAS left off...KING OF NEW YORK BEGINS. NOT EVERYONE WHO RUNS A CITY IS ELECTED "A glittering, exciting and visually stylish gangster orgy." DAILY MAIL "Electrifying" THE OBSERVER "The film that all guns 'n' crack movies must be judged against." CITY LIMITS "Powerful, exciting stuff and a joy to watch." EVENING STANDARD "Stylish, exciting and compelling." THE STAR "Astonishingly brutal...orgies of machine-gun destruction that make the Mafia guys of GOODFELLAS seem like the Andrews Sisters. " NME First came SCARFACE, then GOODFELLAS...now get ready for the most shattering gangster movie of the year. From Abel Ferrara, the controversial director of CAT CHASER, CHINA GIRL and ANGEL OF VENGEANCE comes Academy Award ® Winner Christopher Walken (THE DEER HUNTER, A VIEW TO A KILL, THE DEAD ZONE) starring in this violent action-packed story of a city on the edge. Also featuring a spellbinding soundtrack by Schooly D.

Freed from prison, Frank White (Walken) challenges his fellow druglords in bloody battles for a piece of the action. In New York, crime gets done Frank's way - or it doesn't get done at all. Unable to keep him behind bars, the cops declare war on him - and Frank fights back. © Rank Film Distributors and Reteitalia S.P.A
