ncubenqobizithanicholas-18992 Ranks up there with the Godfather trilogy. One of the greatest masterpieces in the genre of crime. Inspired the writing of The Sopranos (1999) as much detail and a total of 27 actors therein also featured in this epic mafia movie.

chuckmorrongiello Well done film with unforgettable dialogues, scenes and acting. The movie is packed with stars of gangster world - my favorite actors. I personally grew up on the streets on Long Island New York so I can relate to this movie.

usawrestling-74176 Everyone played their roles to perfection. Every scene was eventful and never bored. All the actors were perfect for their roles!

Pjtaylor-96-138044 While an argument could be made that 'Goodfellas (1990)' perhaps comes dangerously close to glamourising the gangster lifestyle it portrays, this sprawling and relentless picture depicts three-decades of mob life through the eyes of a real-life ex-mafioso who entered into the witness protection program in the early 1980s and ultimately manages to maintain an impartial stance by simply portraying all the events the way they are remembered to have occurred. Our protagonist also never actually kills anyone and his desperate, drug-fuelled downfall is just as detailed as his seduced start. Scorsese directs the piece with a real ferocious verve and the improvised dialogue lends a genuinely unpredictable edge to most sequences, leading to an almost fly-on-the-wall feel even though the techniques used are inherently cinematic. When the violence explodes onto the screen, it is just as shocking as you'd expect it to be. The only downside of all this is that the already long film feels even longer due to the fast-pace and sheer amount of scenes - a minor complaint since it's all so entertaining. 8/10
