Great Mafia Film!

Rating: 9/10 (1 November 2010)

Maybe it was I watched the amazing second part of the godfather right before this movie, but I thought this was not as good as most people made it out to be. Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent film. It's one of the top mafia films I have ever seen.
This is the story of one guy and how he spent his life since childhood in the mafia.
The acting is superb. I was pleased at the performances by Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, and especially Joe Pesci as the wild maniac. This also has to be Martin Scorcese's finest.
One thing that bothered me here is there was no score, just pop songs. I liked the songs but I expected a score similar to the Godfather. I was disappointed there but that's pretty much my only disappointment.
Overall, this is a very good gangster film. I recommend this to people who like these kind of films but it's also very violent. I rate this film 8/10.
