'King of New York'

A spiralling film that never really went anywhere and didn't make a lot of sense. If you're Coppola doing "The Godfather" or Scorcese doing "Gangs of New York" you have to keep movies close to the vest. Especially when the characters are genuinely unlikable and uninteresting.

Plus, there's a lot of characters that I think we're meant to care about but we don't know what they're doing or why.

Then, Christopher Walken, I think, was affected by his role in "The Deer Hunter" to the point that he was kinda crazy during every role after that. He's largely unbelievable as a crime lord.
