Movie Reviews of Prizzi's Honor
Movie Review: When an wise guy fall in love
Summary: 4 Stars
Funny! One of the best Mafia's comedy. Nicholson like an wise obedient boy playing love games with the killer K. Turner made me laugh so much. And the actor who plays his father Partana, and the Prizzi's big boss, and Angelica Huston' role they all are pretty funny. A masterpiece by John Huston.
Summary of Prizzi's Honor
Get ready for a mob hit that's as "funny as hell" (L.A. Weekly), when legendary director John Huston takes aim at family values in "one of his very best films" (Roger Ebert)! With "a superb cast" (Boxoffice) led by Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner, this killer comedy scored eight Academy Award?(r) nominations,* including Best Picture, and an Oscar?(r) for Anjelica Huston. The Prizzi family's principal hit man, Charley (Nicholson), is about to discover that he and his new bride (Turner) share more than just body heat: They're both cold-blooded assassins, and their next job is to ice each other! Now Charley must choose which contract to honorthe oneto his wife or the one on his wifein this "wickedly amoral black comedy" (Screen International)! *1985: Actor (Nicholson), Supporting Actor (William Hickey), Director, Adapted Screenplay, Editing, Costume DesignIt may not seem like the most obvious kind of Huston country, but this black Mafia comedy fits perfectly with the John Huston mindset. Adapted from Richard Condon's novel, the film stars Nicholson as a none-too-bright hit man for a Mafia family who falls in love with an independent operator--a female killer played by Kathleen Turner. The two make a surprisingly funny couple, whether taking a fling at domesticity or comparing professional notes. But their romance is threatened by the woman Nicholson has jilted: the don's daughter, played by Anjelica Huston in a particularly well-etched and poisonous portrayal, for which she won an Oscar. Look for equally tasty turns by cast members William Hickey, John Randolph, and Robert Loggia. --Marshall Fine
