A criminal masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2003)

This movie is based on the book Wiseguy. The book was based on a true story, so ofcourse the movie is too. The film is about three friends who become criminals. Robert DeNiro is one hell of an actor. He plays the friendly, but tough criminal: Jimmy "The Gent" Conway. This role was probably pretty damn tough. Then there's Ray Liotta who plays Henry Hill. Henry Hill is a cocaine sniffing young criminal. Joe Pesci is funny (as he showed in My Cousin Vinny). He still has a little bit of comedy in this movie. He plays the maniac, Tommy DeVito. That role earned him an Academy Award. Lorraine Bracco plays Karen Hill (Henry's wife). Bracco has a tough role playing Hill's wife. Then last, but not least. There's Paul Sorvino. He plays the mob boss: Paul Cicero. Or in the movie: Paulie. All these great actors, but what about the director? Well the director is Martin Soresce. We know Soresce directing films like: Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Gangs of New York. Overall, this movie is absolutley brilliant! Watch it people! A 10 out of 10!
