"Suicide Kings" doesn't take the kamikaze approach of going in for the quick kill. Rather, the convoluted story aims for plot twists and revelations that never really materialize in this tale of a bungled kidnapping.

Just remember that the film is low on violence and high on acting content and you should make it through the film just fine.

Walken is always good fun and the plot starts off with a bang, but by the end the predictability comes through and the landing goes flat...
