 Rating:  - This movie stinksI really like Christopher Walken, but this movie is a real dead dog. One of the worst movies I've ever seen - completely unrealistic, totally bad. I don't know how they got some of the actors in this stinker to show up and actually admit they had any part in this abomination. If you want a gangster movie, this isn't one - they spend more time emphasizing nudie club make scences than doing anything as far as developing a story or plot - a real stinker - not even worth the wrapper it's packaged in. Rating:  - Awesome...Christopher Walken, chilling and complicated...I recently watched this 1990 gangster thriller again and was blown away.

Rating:  - Shaky and DisjointedA lot of the older 80's and 90's gangster flicks show their age and technical limitations but are still enjoyable. "New Jack City" and "Scarface" are hardly the powerhouse thrillers they were in the day, but can still entertain. Even though these two films are filled with archaic styles and the territory has been way too explored, they hold up. KONY is a different kind of gangster film, and it's serious identity crisis is it's major shortcoming. Christopher Walken is great actor and fans ...
