Review of Prizzi's Honor (1985) by Danny R — 05 Apr 2011
An inspired and highly original black comedy that's icily entertaining and tantalizingly amoral. It concerns Charley Partanna a hit-man, played by Jack Nicholson in remarkable comic tour-de-force performance, that earned him an Best Actor Oscar nomination, who falls hard for a cool beauty named Irene Walker, played by the sexy Kathleen Turner in a brilliant turn, whose talents include ripping off casinos and four contact killings a year.
Director John Houston has beautiful realized the maliciously funny world of the Prizzi family, who would rather eat their children then part with money.
