The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pope_o...ch_Village
A strange riff on the street-thug's-cousin-gets-thug-in-trouble-with-the-mob motif with some nice camera work, loads of overacting, Daryl Hannah in her underpants, and a show stealing performance by Geraldine Page made this a decent watch. Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts overact, then overact some more as the plot plays out, leading to some unintentional comedy. There are other funny bits - intended humor - sprinkled throughout.
The plot lags in spots. We really don't need exposition in this flick - we all know the story already. Hero gets fired because of his cousin's antics. Girlfriend in pregnant, Hero under financial stress. Cousin pitches a heist, turns out to be mob money, and we get to see how Hero is gonna get out of it. Then end.
