An expertly made movie!

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2019)

After watching "Godfather", you would expect that every mafia movie has melodramatic scenes of mafia bosses wisely talking about the meaning of life with heavily forced accents. That can be tolerated to some extent, but get's boring pretty fast. Luckily, "Goodfellas" is nothing like it. It's fast and enjoyable to watch, without a lot of drama. There is not much stalling and I like that. I especially liked that characters tell their own story. And the way that shots are compiled into a movie feel so right, and you just know you are watching a good movie. Performances of all actors are magnificent. It's a fine example of a good movie and I recommend it wholeheartedly, and there is nothing bad I can say about the movie. It even has some sort of happy ending, so I don't know what's not to like. 10/10
