BEST GANGSTER FILM EVER

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2002)

What can I say about this classic gangster movie? It has everything-realistic and interesting characters, plenty of violence, plenty of comedy-it truly is great.
(POSSIBLE SPOILERS)Every character in this film is superb. It would take me a whole book to praise the characters in the film. They were all superb. Joe Pesci as Tommy De Vito was an absolute psycho in this film. The characters really had to watch what they said around him. The slightest most innocuous comment heard by De Vito sent him into a rage and he would stab, shoot and kill anyone who crossed him.This is the best part ever played by Joe Pesci in my opinion.
Robert De Niro as James Conway was great too. Whilst he could not be classed as a psycho he was rather scary and unpredictable at times. When things kicked off, he was mean and nasty.
Every scene in this movie is great so it would be hard to recommend individual scenes. I liked the scene where young Henry Hill got into trouble for not attending school. The school had sent a letter to Henry's father and his father had given him a beating. So you know what happened next? Henry's gangster friends grab the postman, rough him up and warn him not to deliver any more school letters to Henry's house. This was just one of many great scenes in this movie.
I won't give any more away but let's just say that if you're a movie fan then you must watch this before you watch anything else.
