A classic unique gangster flick

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2016)

This movie is probably one of the greatest gangster movies that ever existed. But what more can you expect from the legendary Martin Scorsese? Goodfellas tells the story of Henry Hill, a rebellious kid who dreams of becoming a respected gangster, fascinated by the glorious mafia lifestyle. In his early teens, his dream comes true and he joins the mafia. The film depicts Henry's life in the mafia and all of its ups and downs. Feared Jimmy Conway and psychopathic Tommy DeVito are Henry's friends and allies throughout the film which eventually ends with deceit, betrayal and death. Goodfellas is a movie that I definitely recommend to everyone to watch it. Tip: Before watching the film, read the book ''Wiseguy'' by Nicholas Pileggi.
