Synopsis
Suicide Kings (1997) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Peter O'Fallon sets the whole thing in a single night: five wealthy young men kidnap Carlo, a retired New York mob boss, to force him to front the ransom for a friend's missing sister. Two million dollars. Clean and simple. It does not stay clean or simple.
Christopher Walken plays Carlo with the quiet patience of a man who has handled worse. Tied to a chair, missing a finger, he still runs circles around his captors — Henry Thomas, Sean Patrick Flanery, and Johnny Galecki, all slowly turning on each other as the plan starts to crack. Denis Leary shows up as Carlo's associate and steals every scene he's in.
The film works almost entirely on dialogue and pressure. No big action sequences — just a room full of people who are each hiding something, and one very calm mob boss who intends to find out what. Stream Suicide Kings (1997) online on iFILM.
