Polished.

Jack is the only redeeming bit in an otherwise poor film.

I really wonder where any of the budget went? Maybe to the real mob, an organization which this movie shames. I think Inspector Clouseau or Mr. Bean would run a better organized and scandal free syndicate. It feels as if they could only pay a few stars, and the rest of the cast came from a failing community theater. This wouldn't make it as a TV-movie now, and probably would have been derivative trash back in '85 as well. Everyone overacts, leading me to believe someone fixed the Oscar Noms.

Great performances by Huston and Turner, but a second-rate impersonation from Nicholson. Still, it's a good story and an entertaining movie.

Good film.

where the heck were the laughs? for that matter where's the entertainment. there's really nothing to this movie, it's attempt at black comedy fails so badly that when stripped to it's foundation all we have is a bare mob drama, uninteresting, boring, and undeserving of acclaim or the names tied to it.

Light mafia satire with outstanding supporting performances, especially Anjelica Huston in a hypnotic turn.

Prizzi's Honor is very similar to Mr. and Mrs. Smith. A big difference between the two is that this one is better. Jack Nicholson fails to disappoint.

Kathleen Turner is beautiful, but this film doesn't satisfy

Before there was Mr. and Mrs. Smith, there was Prizzi's Honor. This is one slam bam great mob, comedy, romance. By far this is my favorite Angelica Houston movie. William Hickey is great too - how has he managed to look like he's going to die tommorow for the last 20 years?
