Goodfellas II

Rating: 7/10 (11 October 2006)

Lemme see ...
It's about someone who decides to become a criminal, spends some time in prison, does more crime.
There's the narration, the music to tell you what year it is, the frantic feeling of things out of control.
And, just in case the viewer needs one more hint ... Ray Liotta.
I enjoyed it. It was interesting while it was on, but not riveting. I learned something (well, assuming it was somewhat true to reality). It had it's moments, but I wasn't left with a feeling the characters were developed any deeper than what was in the script. It was all style and imitation of life.
It gets points for being a well-executed imitation of Goodfellas. Hey, I liked Christan Slater's Jack-Nicholson-as-teenager-routine in "Heathers".
