WYLION - Good or bad fellas?

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2019)

As said in the words from the movie, Goodfellas definitely whacked the competition! Aside from The Godfather and it's little brother The Godfather Part II, in my opinion, Goodfellas takes third in terms of Gangster movies.
From the excellent performances of Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro, to the extreme tension near the end of the movie. This is one you need to see in your life time.
But, of course no movie is perfect. Where two of the main characters shine, the lead does not. A clear example of this shows in one particular part of the movie. Early on in the movie there is a scene where Tommy (Joe Pesci), Jimmy (Robert De Niro) and Henry (Ray Liotta) turn up to Tommy's mothers house after murdering Billy Batts. Famously, the conversations in this scene were improvised. When sticking to that theme though, Ray Liotta was famously quiet. This was pretty obvious as it was pointed out by Tommy's mother in the movie (Catherine Scorsese).
I give my praise to Martin Scorsese for making what is and probably always will be a movie classic.
