Search: Starring Wesley Snipes

Full of visceral action from start to finish, this is a kinetic mix of impressive stunts and inventive shots.

Blade has no sense of humour - you knew that already - but Snipes is made to look iconic, which means he's a dull date.

Has a brooding and moody power that makes up for what it lacks in originality.

Though not entirely successful, Lee's adaptation certainly has balls.

You get what you pay for with a little bit of humour to lubricate the violence

About two-thirds in, the film turns aside from the well-travelled predictable path and becomes something else entirely.

It is a jumble of influences from other, far better flicks and as a whole it is confusing and irritating.

Overall, King Of New York is distinguished from similarly themed films by its willingness to embrace the gangster genre's exploitative nature; it's as shallow as a puddle but it's riveting viewing all the same.

The sort of film that is meant to make you believe in the inherent goodness of mankind.

There is a suprise twist at the end, which is always nice, and the actors are made to work for their salaries.

Shelton's direction is at its best in the action sequences.
