Prizzi's Honor (1985)
Crime | Drama | Romance

Charley Partanna, a do-it-yourself kind of guy, has been loyal to "The Family" since he can remember. If you need somebody rubbed out he's your eraser, ready to kill at the drop of a dollar. Boss Don Corrado Prizzi's daughter, Maerose, has eyes for Charley, but Charley has already fallen for a sultry hit-woman named Irene Walker. Their unlikely romance hits a snag, however, as Irene as Charley have each been hired to knock off the other!

User Comment: DeeDee-10 San Francisco • Nicholson and Turner in top form play out this tale of intrigue and "family" problems with a strong supporting cast, namely John Randolph, playing Nicholson's father, and William Hickey, the "Don" of the "family", who in my opinion steals the movie right from under the rest of them every time he is on camera. Angelica Houston is wonderful as the spurned woman who plots her revenge. All in all, a fine piece of entertainment!
