Prizzi’s Honor [1985]
Customer Review: The less you know about it, the more you’ll enjoy it
So many of the laughs in Prizzi’s Honor come from the plot twists (most of them included in the film’s trailer, conspicuous by its absence on this DVD) that it’s best not to go into it knowing too much. The fact that I’d forgotten so many of them is perhaps why I enjoyed it so much more the second time around. It’s a civilized entertainment - perhaps a little too civilized at times, although William Hickey’s deathly white vampiric Don gives a whole new meaning to the phrase Cookie Monster - elegantly made and plotted, which wasn’t so rare in 1985 but these days is a positive novelty. Jack Nicholson’s hamming it up again, but not as much as usual as the luckless Mafia enforcer who meets the woman of his dreams only to discover she’s ripped off the family. His comparative restraint helps keep the film from disappearing into slapstick and ridicule, but he still feels something of an impostor in this world - far more so than Kathleen Turner, on good form here as his fatal attraction. Quietly enjoyable.
No real extras on the UK DVD apart from a few text trivia notes, but at least it isn’t panned-and-scanned like other titles from theABC library but has an acceptable non-anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen transfer.
Customer Review: Bullets are hitting the wrong targets and missing the right ones
When the mafia becomes the argument of an action film and little more it is no longer funny, it is no longer strange, it is no longer fascinating. It is nothing but outlandish and terroristic. It takes all Jack Nicholson can give to make these characters in anyway palatable, and even so. In the Prizzi family all other considerations than the family is outlawed, except maybe for a couple of weeks and the woman concerned by this out-breeding passing passion has to submit and take the color of the wall on which she is being pinned. If she does not then she will be executed and cut off. There is no depth in that film, no subtleties or even subtlety. Get the message, bang it down on the table and then cram it down your brain. Business is business and in-breeding is the rule. I will always wonder why a hit-woman with a reputation of efficiency and effectiveness misses her husband when he intends to kill her though she manages to shoot one bullet first. Suspend your disbelief and incredulity. The cinema is the new church of the visual dominant animal man is. To see is to believe. But at times to believe is easier when you are blind, and probably deaf too. Apart from that it is interesting even if we do spend a little bit too much time in planes going east and planes going west, kind of an airlift between New York, or whatever may titillate you, and Los Angeles, or whatever it takes to please you.
