Synopsis

A cult grew quickly around Abel Ferrara, director of those notorious "video nasties" Driller Killer and Ms 45, as well as 1992's Bad Lieutenant with Harvey Keitel. More recent productions such as The Addiction and The Funeral did little to change his reputation. This is similarly sordid and blood-soaked, the tale of a New York drug trafficker, played with appalling brilliance by the reptilian Christopher Walken. Ferrara has Sergio Leone's eye for a location - his dark, brooding view of the city is impressive - but what some viewers will regard as gripping and apocalyptic, others may just as easily find repellent.
