Wise Guys
Best friends Harry and Moe are go-getters inside a Newark mob outfit. They go get the boss's dry-cleaning. They go get his car. Now they have a new task: go get each other. The boss has secretly hired each pal to whack the other. Brian De Palma, whose Scarface and Carlito's Way are mobster-movie classics, finds the genre's funny bone in a comedy "filled with ideas and gags and great characters. It never runs dry" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). Dan Hedaya and Harvey Keitel are among the ensemble's portrayers of kingpins and palookas. And Danny DeVito and Joe Piscopo play the pals whose friendship might survive the mob if they don't kill each other first.

Two flunky "wise guys" tired of being disrespected and mistreated by their boss as dimwits, make the mistake of going against their orders and misbet his money. As a result, they are ordered to kill each other, unbeknownst to the other.
Almost 20 years later this is still a fun movie to watch. Above average film, and great laughs.
