City of Goodfellas!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2006)

I was sceptical when i first sat down and watched this film for the first time. Basically because i have never really been into foreign films, with all the western films being thrown into our faces with English as the main language. However i sat down and watched it, after hearing that this was similar to Goodfellas and many people saying that it is actually a better film!! i thought no way!!.
However after watching the first 10 minutes i quickly forgot about the subtitles and i was hooked on this film, it is so well made, so well acted by actors that were acting for the first time!! that is incredible for example Lil'Ze, which probably was the best performance of the film. This film has now become one of my favourite films ever! and is better than my former favourite Goodfellas. The structure is complicated at first but after say two viewings of the film you pick up on everything. The messages it conveys and leaves you as the audience with are memorable and have a great impact, A powerful Film! 10/10
