must watch

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2014)

One of the greatest movies of all time. the acting, writing, music, and directing are all in top form here. For a movie that is nearly three hours, it just breezes by at a breakneck speed. this movie is truly a study of good directing and is one of the greatest gangster films ever made.this is truly Marty's masterpiece. this movie just oozes style and cool at every turn.definitely a must watch for any true movie lover. I wont spoil the story for anyone who has not seen it, but it is one wild ride, and it makes it all the more incredible when you realize that this is based on a true story. Robert deniro is he usual brilliant self, but the true star is the character "Tommy", portrayed by the excellent Joe pesci. his character is scary, insane, profane, and hilarious all at the same time, and he truly deserved the Oscar for best supporting actor in this film. he truly was the standout. in closing, I highly recommend this film for any fan of not only good mobster movies, but good films in general. it truly is a standout in every way, and it will not be a movie that will be easily forgotten.
