Good, Bad, and Ugly Fellas

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2008)

This movie is about despicable characters committing deplorable acts yet it manages to be interesting if overlong, with too much time spent establishing the gangster lifestyle that we already know about from films such as "The Godfather." Once it gets going about half way through, however, it becomes rather compelling. Scorsese is the master of this sort of film, although his trademark obsession with violence is disturbing. De Niro plays the same character that he has played in a dozen movies. Although there are no likable characters, Pesci's is the worst. Bracco is sexy. Liotta is creepy-looking. This one probably holds the record for the number of f-words uttered.
