Review of King of New York (1990) by Dc F — 11 Jul 2011

Very little life in many of these well-known actors which I found odd except for the great performance by Lawrence Fishburn. It's a good movie, but more of a drama than what many might think of as a gangster film.

This has some unrealistically corny parts and plays like a made-for-tv movie at times, even having a rather unsatisfying ending. But there's a pretty damn good shoot-out towards the last quarter that I love to re-watch which rivals the last Scarface shoot-out.

This movie is good, but mostly for the superior acting of Fishburn.
