Good performances,but I'm not a fan of the genre.

Rating: 5/10 (16 September 2006)

I will begin by stating that I am not a fan of the mafia genre.I am merely watching and reviewing this film because of it's status as the #94 film on the American Film Institute's top 100 films in cinema history.I will give high marks to the cast,Robert DeNiro,Joe Pesci,Ray Liotta,Paul Sorvino,and Lorraine Bracco for their performances,as they play these types of roles very well,especially DeNiro and Pesci.I just don't connect very well with mafia story lines,as I feel that they only serve to glorify the real mafia.I will not question any of the AFI's choices for best films ever,but as a matter of personal taste,I have to say that I just don't like the film as a whole,and will probably never view it again.
