Review of Prizzi's Honor

Prizzi's Honor has won a lot of acclaim and I was really looking forward to watching it. I expected something relatively entertaining either as a Mob Drama or a dark comedy. A Mob Drama it was, but it was not entertaining and it certainly wasn't a dark comedy, even thought it marketed itself as one.

I'm sorry, but with a few exceptions ("Why didn't he catch the baby?") it was really just a very boring unfunny movie with a strange ending. I'm sorry, but I'm one of the few who just doesn't "get" Prizzi's Honor.

John Huston has made better movies. Far better movies. I'm certain most of his bad stuff is better than this...
