If you're a fan of Christopher Walken than you will absolutely love Suicide Kings (if you're not a fan of his than you will probably dread this film), as it is a film that features an under-appreciated Walken performance. In fact I'm recommending this film solely on Walken's performance.
With that being said the film does have some other interesting things going for it. Personally I really love the idea behind the film in which a young man and his buddies kidnap a mafia boss and force him to use his connections to find his missing sister.
Walken plays the mob boss and is tied to a chair for about 95% of the film, which is what makes his performance all the more memorable. He is able to play mind games with his young kidnappers are subtle yet effective and his line deliveries always seem to be tiptoeing on the line between maniacal and hillarious.
