Let's Talk About Christopher Walken's Performance In "King of New York"

[bogey_j]

might be the coldest performance i've seen on film. Walken is so good at playing a sociopath that I think he may actually be a sociopath. something about his strange, spaced out line deliveries and his movements/facial expressions that makes it seem he may fly off the handle at any moment. I think Walken clearly improvs a lot through scenes and it adds to his character's impulsive nature

between his performance in this or cameo in True Romance, Walken has this type of character mastered on a different level than anyone else I've seen

Walken credits his unique speech pattern and mannerisms to growing up with immigrants.

He's the original King of New York after all.

nikka was a straight weirdo and unbelievable crime boss in that movie. No way he’d have thorough brehs like Giancarlo and Larry Fishburne following him like that.
