Excellent Gangster film is certainly fascinating, darkly funny and entertaining.

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2007)

Herny Hill (Christopher Serrone) grows up during the 1950's, who grows up in the neighborhood of New York City in the tough and roughest areas. But Herny becomes fascinated, when he's hired to do small time jobs for the local mob. Which Herny is certainly loyal and these Wiseguys do treat him with respect as well. When Herny becomes a man (Now Played by Ray Liotta), he becomes a small time gangster by doing various of jobs for them during the 1960's to the early 1980's. Herny becomes close with two friends, who are also in the mob. Well Respected Gangster James "Jimmy" Conway (Two Time Oscar-Winner:Robert DeNiro) and ambitious slightly crazy Wiseguy Tom DeVito (Oscar-Winner:Joe Pesci) are pulling off various successful jobs until the things aren't not what they used to be. Especially when the law are trying to find a way to put these mobsters in jail. Especially when these men are slowly falling apart.
Directed by Oscar-Winner:Martin Scorsese (The Aviator, The Departed, Taxi Driver) made an entertaining Gangster film that is fast-paced, filled with vivid rich characters, often funny and violent movie. This is actually based on the life of the real Herny Hill. The real-life Hill once lived that dangerous life as it is shown in the film. Liotta gives an terrific performance here, which it is one of his best roles. Scorsese's scores a terrific supporting cast like DeNiro, Pesci, Lorraine Bracco, Paul Sorvino and more. Pesci won an Oscar for his brilliant violent comedic supporting role. Bracco also received an Oscar nomination for her strong supporting performance as well. It also received nomination for Best Picture, Best Editing, Best Director and Best Adapated Screenplay. This is one these pictures that becomes an Instant Classic like most of Scorsese's interesting movies and it also an rich soundtrack. Plenty of familiar faces appears in bit parts and cameos, especially the director's mother. "Goodfellas" is a extremely well directed movie that gets better and better with each viewing. Don't miss it. Based on a novel by Nicolas Pileggi (Casino). Screenplay by Pileggi and Scorsese. (**** ½/*****).
