Goodfellas is a triumph in motion picture history

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2003)

Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas" is sheer brilliance. It is a film that engages you deeply in the story and it's characters. Every aspect of the film works. Nothing is out of place.
Scorsese's directing is flawless. He fits everything in place perfectly. The narration through out the film also adds a very nice touch.
The acting is all superb. Ray Liotta portrays Henry Hill with just enough edge and fire. It is probably his finest performance to date. Robert DeNiro as Jimmy Conway is compelling and strong. He gives a top notch performance as always. Now I come to Joe Pesci who completely deserved his best supporting actor Oscar for this film. He puts so much in his role as Tommy DeVito. Whenever Pesci is on the screen he steals the show.
"Goodfellas" is one the finest movies ever made. It is a true classic.
