Wise Guys (Full Frame)

VHS, R, 100 minutes, MGM

Mob gofers Harry and Moe are the best of friends in the worst of situations. The horse they secretly bet on with the boss's money was nipped at the wire. Now the boss has secretly cut a deal with them. Each has been contracted to kill the other. Danny Devito and Joe Piscopo are New Jersey Wise Guys in this Brian DePalme-directed ("The Untouchables") comedy that turns organized crime into hilarious chaos. It's "an abundant movie, filled with ideas and gags and great characters. It never runs dry" (Roger Ebert's Movie Home Companion).. As Harry, Devito ("Twins," "The War of the Roses") is a ball of energy restrained by a trenchcoat. Piscopo ("Johnny Dangerously," "Saturday Night Live') is sweet-natures Moe, whose smarts are just a couple bagels shy of a full deli platter. A mob of talented co-stars joins the fun: Dan Hedaya ("Joe Versus the Volcano"), wrestling pro Captain Lou Albano, Julie Bovasso ("Moonstruck"), Harvey Keitel ("The Two Jakes") and more. If you can't trust a friend, who can you trust? Trust Wise Guys to deliver the comedic goods.
