Suicide Kings

(Artisan)

Paul O'Fallon of TV's thirtysomething and Party of Five wrote and directed this shaggy-dog suspense thriller that stars Christopher Walken as a retired New York City don and current kidnapping victim of spoiled, upper-crust buddies Henry Thomas, Jay Mohr, Sean Patrick Flanery, and Jeremy Sisto. Naturally the wily don starts to unravel the boys' spurious friendship and the film's flimsy plot -- Suicide Kings plays an empty hand with nothing wild.
