Review of Wise Guys

Wise Guys (1986)
7/10
Capt. Lou Steals the Show
16 July 2005
This is one of the best movies of all time, a Brian De Palma film with an all star cast featuring Danny DeVito, Harvey Keitel, Joe Piscopo, & staring Capt. Lou Albano who delivers a Marlon Brando Academy Award performance as only he can do. Wrestlers are naturals as actors & Capt. Lou was the perfect choice to play Frank the Fixer. At first I didn't recognize him all cleaned up without his trademark beard tied in a rubber band, but the voice & mannerism was classic Capt Lou. The Clark Gable mustache looked good. A bit of trivia, this is the third movie that Harvey Keitel has appeared in, where there was a character role titled the "Fixer" & he was the "Fixer" in two of them. Can you guess what they are? This masterpiece is synonymous with Gone With The Wind, The Godfather, & Madam Savant.......Buy & watch it today, you half wit savants...........
