1985
Directed by John Huston
If I was composing my dream movie, it would probably include Jack Nicholson, John Huston, and Angelica Huston. It would probably also include a full frontal nudity shot of Nicholson, but I can live without it. Barely.
Charley Partanna is a hit man working for the mob. He meets and falls for Irene Walker (men really need to stop falling for Kathleen Turner) who, like him, is a contractor for the mafia. Of course, he asks his ex girlfriend about Irene, because men are always oblivious to women's feelings. Sorry, I am editorializing a bit.
I really have no valid criticisms about the film, as it is brilliantly acted and directed. I actually don't have a lot to say about it, as it is just a great movie, albeit predictable. It is basically Mr. and Mrs. Smith, only the actors are slightly less hot and lot more talented.
RATING: ****-
Interesting Facts:
John Huston often reminded Jack Nicholson that his character was supposed to be stupid before takes.
Excellent acting and a good movie.
