The Best Gangster Film Ever

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2019)

I LOVE Goodfellas. It is the best gangster film I've ever seen, it is one of my all time favorite movies, and it is easily Martin Scorsese's best film.
Goodfellas is about a young man, Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) that grows up in the mob, and works very hard to get where he needs to get. He marries a woman, Karen (Lorraine Bracco) and has a great life with her and his two gangster pals, Jimmy (Robert De Niro) and Tommy (Joe Pesci). However, as Henry makes some bad mistakes and gets a serious drug addiction, things take a turn for the worst.
Goodfellas is one hell of a film. The story is amazing as it was based off a book. I've never read the book, but I can tell by the film that the book had to of been epic.
The cast and their acting is the best part of the film. Everyone did such a top-notch job at playing wiseguys. I'd say Joe Pesci was my favorite as he delivered great humor to the screen. Everyone else, De Niro, Liotta, and even Paul Sorvino were all excellent to the max.
What more can be said about Goodfellas that hasn't been said? It is 2 and a half hours of awesomeness and is pure cinematic entertainment.
