Best Movie Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 2/10 (5 June 2005)

This is easily my all time favorite movie. The pacing is electric and the acting is fantastic. The mix of dark dark humor, drama and action is fantastic. Everyone always talks about Pesci's great performance and rightfully so, but DeNiro gives the second best performance of his career (after Raging Bull) in this movie. Understated but fantastic. Ray Liotta is also excellent, although somewhat overshadowed by Pesci and DeNiro. The last 25 minutes of the movie where Liotta's character is trying to unload guns on his "Pittsburgh connection" and get a cocaine shipment out the door all while preparing a large Italian meal for his whole family is amazing. Many people tell me that I am nuts for liking this movie because it glorifies the mafia life, but I think it does just the opposite. If you have not seen this movie, rent it immediately.
