Danny DeVito is at the top of his game right here.His delivery of lines are perfect.The rest of the cast including Joe Piscopo help this small comedy along tremednously. The always surprisingly Capt.Lou Albano is tailor made for his role as "the fixer." The DePalma direction is perfect such as in the scene where the gang peeks from the door and through the blinds and make bets as they anticipate Mr. Costello's car to blow-up.It's the little things that all combine into one that makes this film work to perfection.
