Well worth the watch if you like Goodfellas

Rating: 8/10 (30 September 2005)

Okay, so this is no Goodfellas, but if you like Goodfellas then it's well worth a watch. It's funny to see a role reversal with DeNiro and Pesci from Raging Bull. Now Pesci is the 'animale' and DeNiro the placid, reasonable man. Pesci is scary here, another classic movie psycho.
Sharon Stone is excellent in this film too. If you like Scorcese's style (pauses, tracking shots, voiceovers, Rolling Stones music) then this is well worth checking out.
Having said that, it only ranks after Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets and Goodfellas. I'd watch these four first, you'll get a real idea of Scorcese's genius behind a camera.
