Prizzi's Honor (1985)

Thieves and other crooks, legend decries, function within a code of ethical behavior toward others of their lawless ilk that is stricter and more savagely enforced than any standards of practice in the straight business world. This structure of outlaw bylaws is put to the test in Prizzi’s Honor (1985). A powerful Mafia family that is as conscious of its pride as its bottom dollar, the Prizzi clan generates enough work in fortifying their reputation that they keep an entire crew of professional hitmen busily employed. Unforeseen conflicts of interest arise when two subcontracted assassins are given the job of rubbing out each other. These two particular paid killers, a man and a woman, happen to be secretly in love and plan to be married. So what’s more important: Planning the honeymoon, staying alive, or saving face?
