Suicide Kings is a 1997 crime-thriller movie directed by Peter O'Fallon and starring Christopher Walken, Denis Leary, Jay Mohr, and Johnny Galecki. The story revolves around Charlie Barret (Walken), a retired criminal who is abducted by five rich young men desperate to raise a $2 million ransom to save the sister of one of their friends.
As the young men keep Charlie tied up in a cabin, he gradually begins to play mind games with them to piece together their true motives. Meanwhile, tensions escalate among the kidnappers as they start to suspect that one of their own might be responsible for the kidnapping.
As the clock ticks down, the group must confront their own morality and complicity in the crime while trying to keep their plan from falling apart. The film is noted for its sharp dialogue, unsettling atmosphere, and strong performances, particularly from Walken as the manipulative and enigmatic Charlie.
Suicide Kings received mixed reviews upon its release but has since gained a cult following for its darkly comic take on the crime genre and its visceral exploration of power and privilege.
