Last night Mike and I watched an excellent flick called Suicide Kings. An older movie (if 1997 can be considered old) which stars Christopher Walken, Denis Leary, and that dude from Six Feet Under. The crazy brother guy. You know who I’m talking about.
Anyhow, the story revolves around Christopher Walken being a retired mobster (shocking, I know) and four guys kidnap him so they can use him to foot the bill for a ransom of $2 million bones to get back a sister. But then they also have Denis Leary (who is Christopher Walken’s driver) hunting down his chief which is hilarious on its own. I love Denis Leary. It makes me miss his old cop show.
Anyhow, the movie was amusing seeing that Christopher Walken is always a good time. Here he is acting calm while being kidnapped and trying to reason with these four guys. There are some classic funny moments in the film (the Fish Boots) and overall, I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys an easy going flick.

Hey Ryan,
I just read your review and I’ll keep my eyes open for this flick. If you are in need of some Denis Leary fix, he does have a show on now called “Rescue me” that plays on Showcase everyweek. I’m not too sure about the day and time, but you should be able to find that relatively easily. The show is about Denis being a recovering alcoholic firefighter. A lady I used to work with could not get enough of this show.
I swear he just does the same exact roles! The cop show he was in had him as a recovering alcoholic police officer!
