Are you gonna let him away with that?

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2003)

This movie is truly class.
Right from the start you are introduced to the violence of the film, and like all good gangster movies, the violence continues right the way through.
The 3 main characters play excellent roles, Pesci being a particularly vicious one. Some of his actions are downright scary, from winding Ray Liotta up early on in the film, to some of his actions later on. He really is disturbed.
The plot takes us through the life of Henry Hill (Liotta) from how he got involved as a youngster, to how he ends up later on in life.
Some of the dialog is fantastic, Pesci joking with Liotta in the restaurant is memorable, and I find myself using lines from the film in daily life. Picture the scene in a pub, someone bumps my friends drink over and nothing is said... Until I ask him "Are you gonna let him away with that...?"
I love true stories and violent gangster movies and this film has it all. Easily my favourite film, I have watched it over and over several times, and its still brilliant.
10 out of 10
