Scorcese Power Punch

Rating: 8/10 (18 April 2007)

"Goodfellas" is a very dark, harsh film that actually manages to glorify gangsters. Director Martin Scorcese shows an obsession for the characters and the extraordinary lives they lead. New boy Henry Hill is played well by Ray Liotta, while long-time wise guys Jimmy Conway and Tommy De Vito are played brilliantly by Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci respectively.
Scorcese shines throughout as he manages to entertain, and keep the audience interested, for over two hours.
Another great, powerful gangster movie. Be aware "Goodfellas" is a violent film, yet by today's standards, perhaps not so anymore.
