Greatest ganstermovie ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2016)

Scorsese takes on the life of mobster Henry Hill in this wild entertaining and voice-narrative driven film that even surpasses the Godfather. Quick cutting, perfect tracking shots, excellent cast, violent, funny and disturbing at the same time. A perfect film that got snubbed at the Oscars! Joe Pesci makes a career best as a trigger happy psycho and Ray Liotta has never been better in anything before or since. It moves so fast but never looses focus on the story and is probably the closest we ever come to real crime on screen. In classic Scorsese style the soundtrack is superbly realized and ends with the cynic Sex Pistols version of Frank Sinatras My Way that perfectly sums up the movies dark take on the American dream. A masterpiece that ranks among the best.
