"Murderers come with smiles..."

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 1999)

I think this is a great movie. Based on a true story, it shows how friends go from pulling petty crimes to committing bloody murders. Rat Liotta is wonderful as Henry Hill, the small time gangster who eventually gets caught up in the serious and deadly mob life. Robert De Niro is brilliant, as always, as Jimmy Conway. And Joe Pesci is great (even if he's a little vulgar) as Tommy De Vito, his Oscar winning role. The saddest part is when Tommy is really excited about getting in to the exclusive, 100% Italian mafia, and then ends up getting killed. I really feel Jimmy's pain when he mourns the loss of his friend. Even though they're really bad people, they still have feelings for their friends.
Martin Scorsese does a great job directing this mafia masterpiece. I definitely think that "GoodFellas" is a movie that everyone should see, because in the end, Henry does what's right. So I give "GoodFellas" a 9 out of 10!
