A 'different' look into the Gangster life...

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2011)

Goodfellas is another brilliant picture from Scorsese. It blends in everything that makes a film great- entertaining scenarios, great dialogue, and a lot of climactic resolutions. Both Ray Liotta and Joe Pesci give incredible performances, and both veer into different types of characters. This isn't The Godfather in it's tone. It is much more energetic, more adrenaline-driven, and in a way more entertaining. De Niro is always great to have, but as far as his performances go this doesn't hold a candle to his best. The story all around is strong, although I wouldn't call it anything ground-breaking as far as other films of similar nature are concerned. But it does Scorsese's filmography proud.
