Editorial Review: King of New York: Academy Award ®-winner Christopher Walken* stars in this shattering action/adventure story of a city on the edge. Larry Fishburne, David Caruso, Wesley Snipes, and Giancarlo Esposito also star in director Abel Ferrara's (Bad Lieutenant, A Dangerous Game) riveting and horrifyingly realistic story of one man who takes on a whole city. 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 responds by putting out a contract on the cops. The Sicilian: ONLY ONE MAN EVER DARED TO STAND ALONE. From Mario Puzo, the best-selling author of "The Godfather," comes the riveting saga of the life, loves and dreams of the infamous Sicilian bandit, Salvatore Giuliano. Filmed entirely on location in Sicily, THE SICILIAN stars Terence Stamp ("Wall Street") and Christopher Lambert ("Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan") in a powerful portrayal of Salvatore Giuliano, a man whose dream became a legend. World War II is finally over, and a war-torn world is at rest. But for Sicily, who dreams of independence from Rome's oppresive, ironhanded regime, the struggle has just begun. Three powers have always ruled the island - the Church, the Landowners and the Mafia - until Salvatore Giuliano pronounced himself the fourth. Determined that Sicily shall gain its freedom, Giuliano and his "brothers" rob and ransom the rich, cold-bloodedly murdering all who dare to defy or betray them. As Giuliano proudly redistributes his newfound wealth among the peasants, Don Masino, the head of the Sicilian Mafia, declares that Giuliano must be stopped - at any cost. Now it's a fight for survival, as the bloodiest manhunt in Italian history sweeps the countryside in search of the notorious outlaw, Giuliano. |
