Prizzi's Honor -1985 John Huston movie starring Jack Nicholson & Kathleen Turner as a pair of mafia hit men that fall in love.Problem is- the pairing never feels realistic- so this slow comedy fails to provide many laughs and felt like a chore to watch.I never bought into Jack Nicholson or his accent in this movie.He is a killer-a lifelong memeber of the mob- but starts loosing his edge when he meets Turner's character.The supporting characters in the movie do a good job-including Lawrence Tierney as an angered police chief.The real star of the movie is Angelica Houston playing the jilted daughter of a mob boss-she looks beautiful and manages to maneuver things around her.The movie is supposed to be a satire- but falls on it's own cheekiness.The lavish wedding scene that starts the movie looks great- but is a real drag and things get muddled from there.Has some decent scenery and acting - but not something I want to see again.
