Why I Think This Is The Best Mob Film Ever!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2008)

Now don't get me wrong I love The Godfather I think it's one of the best ever, but this one takes the medal as the best mob film ever. Martin Scorsese is great and knows how to make an epic film work. I love how the mobsters were all street guys and had lived well, but not like royalty like in the Godfather. Some of these guys lived in regular homes. This showed a side of mobsters having fear that the feds were following them or listening in on their conversation as opposed to the Godfather where they seemed like they weren't worried at all at times. Plus Robert De Niro, Joe Pesie, and Ray Liotta are all top notch names and added realism to this epic tale of crime. Martin Scorsese is one of the greatest directors in Hollywood and this film is his masterpiece. If you haven't seen this film yet I highly recommend it.
