Mob Classic

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2007)

Goodfellas has to be the greatest mob movie.from it's memorable characters to the excellent plot that is called a classic.he're is why it is called a classic.
The movie is focused on Henry Hill(Ray Liotta)who when he was young he wanted to become a gangster and he becomes one from the mob by doing thing like selling cigarettes,Blowing up cars,delivering packages,etc.soon enough he meets Jimmy Conway(Robert De Niro).who becomes friends with Henry helps him when he's on one of his jobs.soon enough Tommy Devito(Joe Pesci)comes into Henry's life and become friend but unlike Henry.Tommy was more violent than Jimmy and Henry put together.Henry even though at first he enjoys the mob life but evenutally Henry's mob life goes upside down and bad things start to happened to him.
This movie has a good plot with memorable character at the same time Great performances.Robert De Niro who plays Jimmy "the Gent" Conway give a great performance he really watches out for Tommy and Henry and proves he can still be dangerous.Joe Pesci gives the best performance he plays the violent Tommy Devito.who loves hurting people and gets a laugh a hurting other for example the scene where the guys are playing poker Tommy gets into a fight with a bartender and shoots him in the foot.then the next time they play poker again he starts to insult him but the bartender defense himself and Jimmy gives the bartender gives him props from insulting Tommy he asks Tommy what's he's going to do Tommy pulls his gun and shoots and kills the bartender.In some way you got to hate Tommy but at time you got to love him.Ray Liotta who Henry Hill even though he's the main character and gives a solid performance but nothing really memorable maybe it was that at the time Ray Liotta wasn't an experience actor but he does a good job playing Henry Hill.Lorraine Bracco who plays Karen Hill Henry tormented Wife is more memorable than Henry with her paranoia of her husband cheating at her but the best scene where she really shines is when she loads a gun at threatens to Kill Henry but can't because she still loves Henry and she pulls it off well and making her role believable.as for the rest of the characters even though there not defiled like the main characters they still give a good job with what there given.
Still if you haven't seen this movie go get it it's a special movie.
