Goodfellas

Based on Nicholas Pileggi's book "Wiseguy", Martin Scorsese's GOODFELLAS is a wry, violent, and exhilarating film about the life of Henry Hill, an aspiring criminal who ends up in the FBI's witness protection program after testifying against his former partners. As a poor Irish-Italian growing up in 1950s New York City, Hill rises through the ranks of his Brooklyn neighbourhood's organized crime branch, and with money from the mob he begins living the good life, complete with a beautiful bride, Karen (Lorraine Brocco), a fancy home, and the best seats at the most exclusive restaurants. A botched robbery lands Henry in prison for a brief period of time, and when he gets released, his reckless infidelities and drug abuse damage his associations with his adopted family.

Starring Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco, Paul Sorvino, Frank Sivero, Tony Darrow, Mike Starr

  • 5 stars out of 5

    This unflinching depiction of the attraction and brutal reality of the Mafia lifestyle from Martin Scorsese is a masterwork on every artistic level. Direction, script — based on Nicholas Pileggi's nonfiction book Wiseguy — photography, ensemble acting (Joe Pesci won a deserved Oscar, but he's matched by Robert De Niro and Ray Liotta) and driving pop and rock soundtrack seamlessly combine to dazzling effect in this instant classic. Crackling with raw energy, Scorsese's fascinating new take on themes explored in his earlier Mean Streets enthrals from the first violent frames to the stunning final sequence. Be prepared to be completely bowled over by a director at the peak of his talents and in full control of topnotch material.

    Give Yourself a Treat

    This film is the dogs danglers of gangster films. It really does have it all. There's no showboating, every actor is at the top of their game. The main characters narration adds so much to the story, helping to flesh out the characters and explain the seductive allure of the gangster lifestyle while illustrating the lethal insecurity that goes hand in hand with it. Go on watch this film and give yourself a treat.

    Awesome

    A true modern masterpiece. Wonderfully paced and acted. While in films like the Godfather you may feel a bit distant from the gangsters in this one you are drawn into their world as seen through the eyes of Henry Hill.

    Visually brilliant and with performances that linger in the memory.

    Best film of the 90's.
