      Kevin P Entertaining film overall. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Luis C It was gritty and funny at the same time!! Loved it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest stars ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Walken is always good fun and the plot starts off with a bang, but by the end the predictability comes through and the landing goes flat... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review erin j Can't go wrong with Christopher Walken. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I was pulled in by the cast, especially Christopher Walken. Walken is great as the mob figure who's kidnapped by a group of college kids from wealthy families in a misguided attempt to extort the ransom money from him rather than their own families. It works because you don't understand in the beginning who these kids are. The tension starts early, and as mentioned in other reviews, continues throughout. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Globe and Mail Rated: 2/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim "Suicide Kings" doesn't take the kamikaze approach of going in for the quick kill. Rather, the convoluted story aims for plot twists and revelations that never really materialize in this tale of a bungled kidnapping. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Just remember that the film is low on violence and high on acting content and you should make it through the film just fine. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 26, 2022 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
