 filmcritic.com Movie Review: King of New York
King of New York, a violent story of one gangster who shoots, stabs, and beats his way to the top of the local crime scene, has never had the street cred of Scarface, despite the similar themes.
King of New York is put together with minimal deviation from the straight and narrow.
New York is delicious during its shootouts, and Walken even gets a chance to bust a characteristic move on the dance floor.

 ‘King of New York’ (R)
Abel Ferrara's "King of New York" is all soft-core lighting and music video stylings -- it's an urban crime story with a Euro-disco flavor.
The other New York crime bosses -- the Italians, the Colombians, the Chinese -- are scum.
The wackiest thing about "King of New York" is that Ferrara seems to take White's role as a social reformer seriously but, quite naturally, not seriously enough to have him succeed.

 Independent ‘King of New York’ - Columbia Chronicle Online -February 24, 2003
During a screening of King of New York about a month ago in the Ludington Building’s third floor theater, someone shouted “the director’s in the house” just as the film’s main character and anti-hero Frank White shot and killed an old school mafioso without even blinking.
It was a definitive moment both because King of New York is an independent classic made to be digested and dissected by film students and because the director, Abel Ferrara, was in fact in the house.
It was also men-tioned in several Gangs of New York film reviews and is considered a definitive New York film, as it captures both the grit and glamour of the city.

 Amazon.ca: King of New York : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Ranking up there with Scarface and even Goodfellas, King of New York is one of the best gangster films ever made, thanks largely in part to the magnetic and explosive performance by Christopher Walken.
Profane, action packed, and filled with unforgettable performances (Walken, Caruso, and Laurence Fishburne are incredible), Abel Ferrara's King of New York is hypnotic from it's first frame to final shot, and the action scenes are pulled off better than most major budget pictures.
This new Special Edition from Lion's Gate/Artisan includes a nice amount of extras to tide fans of the film over, and the commentary by director Ferrara must be heard to be believed.

 King of New York
Abel Ferrara's dazzlingly lurid gangster film chronicles the downfall of a New York drug kingpin named Frank White, who is portrayed by Christopher Walken with his singular mix of spookiness, menace, and glee.
White is a criminal driven by personal demons and an idiosyncratic sense of social justice.
The combination of Walken's tour de force performance; Bojan Bazelli's druggy, expressionistic cinematography; and Ferrara and screenwriter Nicholas St. John's unflinching portrayal of the city's racial and social divisions make The King of New York an incisive and poetic vision of Gotham's seething underbelly.
