FRAME THE SHOT

Description

Director Abel Ferrara’s gritty 1990 crime-fable masterpiece hits even harder in 4K with its noirish story of a drug kingpin eager to regain his territory. Frank White (Christopher Walken) is just out of prison, and he wastes no time – or bullets – in brutally establishing his empire. When the undercover cops standing in Frank’s way decide to match his ruthlessness, the violence that erupts is vintage Ferrara: unflinching, epic, and cinematically poetic. With a cast including Laurence Fishburne, David Caruso, Wesley Snipes, and Giancarlo Esposito, King of New York reigns supreme in the annals of gangster films.
