A hitman heeds a spiritualist's prophesies that he will rise to the head of his family. He starts his ascension by clandestinely executing the heads of the family and casting the blame on others. However, with power comes consequences that are also predicted by the seer.

“William Reillyu0026#39;s u0026quot;Men of Respect,u0026quot; starring John Turturro and the fascinating Katherine Borowitz, is one of the few genuinely innovative gangster films produced in recent years. Chronicling the rise of a very bold, but not very decisive hit man (Turturro, the filmu0026#39;s characters are carefully and convincingly delineated, and the frequent scenes of grotesque violence are almost a diversion from the development of the characters themselves. Although Turturro is splendid as the bloodthirsty, but slightly addled killer, the film is stolen by the performance of Ms. Borowitz, who plays his long-suffering, titanium-spined wife. Other characters include the ill-starred mob bosses played by Rod Steiger, Peter Boyle, and Rod Steiger. Other scene-stealers include three unforgettable u0026quot;witches,u0026quot; whom Turturro consults for a glimpse of his future. If this is beginning to sound familar, it should: u0026quot;Men of Respectu0026quot; is a very faithful update of u0026quot;The Tragedy of Macbeth!u0026quot; A movie to savor, and an actress not to be forgotten.”
