    Christopher Walken has THE best quote in the film.....man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece.


    when he said that i was in awe.

    I just saw Suicide Kings the other night. He is awesome in that movie. The rest of the cast blew, except Dennis Leary of course.

    I love walken, but that movie has to be the worst I have ever seen... pure violence with no meaning to it... I wouldnt recommend it to watch with a date, shell probably end up grossed out... get her a romantic movie or something, gets the date going.

    If I had a daughter who was kidnapped and presumed as murdered, I would want the people that did it to have the most violent and horrible death possible. Im sure many will agree that thats enough meaning for violence.

    Yeah I was under this impression also. The violence was revenge for anybody who was involved or profited. Maybe an animal was harmed and now he shuns the movie?
