the best gangster film.

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 1999)

This is one of my favourite films, I've seen it dozens of times but I still find it hard to watch. It's so unpleasant, the heroes are ruthless murderers, Joe Pesci is particularly horrible as the psychopathic Tommy. Everything about this film is impeccably made, the cinematography is perfect, the soundtrack is brilliant, the acting superb but I still find myself hiding during some of the more gruesome moments. A classic film, but not a pleasant one.
