Abel Ferrara is no Martin Scorsese, let that be known first. The long drawn out scenes a la Goodfellas serve no purpose leaving me to honestly describe this film as one of the worst gangster movies I have ever seen.

Back in the 90's, I was a huge fan of Abel Ferrara's work and, back then, I spent a lot of time tracking down his movies. Indeed, Ferrara has never been an easy director but I always found his movies really mesmerizing.

" Date: 2/23/2021 Viewed: 4K UHD Re-watch Note: I always have been a big fan of this movie ever since I first saw it back when I was in High School. I just got my 4K UHD copy from Arrow Video and I had to watch this movie ASAP. King of New York is still a fantastic movie and I honestly like it more than Goodfellas when it comes to gangster movies from the 1990s in my opinion. I love the story and the atmosphere that this movie has. I always love Abel Ferrara's portrayal of New York City by h"
