The "King of New York", This film is a masterpiece. The Man> Christopher Walken starring as Frank White is a natural. A MUST SEE. A REAL Gangster movie that has had fan`s of even the best rapper`s of the world & mentioned in song`s. An EPIC.

Drug lord Frank White (Chrstiopher Walken) is released from Sing-Sing prison after serving a number of years for drug trafficking. He is reunited with his former gang, led by the murderous Jimmy Jump (Laurence Fishburne), as well as his personal female bodyguards Raye (Theresa Randle) and Melanie (Carrie Ngyen), and his lover/legal annalist Jennifer (Janet Julien). After seeing his old neighborhood more dilapidated and depressing than ever, Frank decides to do good by eliminating his competitors whom filled the void left by his incarceration, then steal their money and drugs to finance a new South Bronx hospital for the needy. But Frank's past won't let go of him when a group of overzealous cops, led by corrupt detective Roy Bishop (Victor Argo), frustrated at the lack of clues to nail Frank on for the current street killings, decide to take matters into their own hands.

Awsome film, heard good things about the movie, bought it and it certainly lived up to the expectation.

i would recommend this film to anyone who loves the gangster genre. A certain keep for the collection.
