Woody Adjacent - Sylvester Stallone, Marisa Tomei - Oscar (1991)

Back for another discussion for what we consider another hidden gem with an actor in the spotlight not usually going this route.. and surprisingly not falling flat on their chiseled face for taking this chance :P

 

In Oscar (1991) Sylvester Stallone ditches his usual action hero persona to play Angelo "Snaps" Provolone, a hardened New York mob boss. Facing a midlife crisis and haunted by his violent past, Snaps makes a life-changing decision: he vows to go straight and become an honest businessman. The film follows Snaps' hilarious and often disastrous attempts to navigate the legal world, all while dealing with a crooked accountant, a family life filled with comic dysfunction (including a daughter with questionable taste in boyfriends), and the constant pressure from his former associates. Marisa Tomei portrays Lisa, Snaps' sharp-tongued daughter, who provides a voice of reason (and exasperation) amidst the chaos.
