If you loved The Bonfire of the Vanities, try Wise Guys
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Wise Guys has roughly 4.5× fewer votes than The Bonfire of the Vanities — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Brian De Palma, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Bonfire of the Vanities, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Wise Guys is
Brian De Palma tries his hand at a gangster comedy. Two low-level mob guys botch a hit, misplace a quarter of a million dollars, and are ordered to whack each other. What follows is a trip to Atlantic City. It's no *Goodfellas*, that's for sure.
