"Terrific Crime Drama!"

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2012)

Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino star in Martin Scorsese's 1990 crime drama based on the book, "Wiseguy." This story reflects on Henry Hill (Liotta) who becomes part of the mob world and eventually turns against it. It also tells about his troubled marriage with wife, Karen Hill (Bracco). He starts out as a small-time crook and makes his way as a gangster falling into the dangerous world of crime, drugs and violence. De Niro (Raging Bull) plays Jimmy Conway, Pesci (Home Alone) plays Tommy DeVito, Sorvino (A Fine Mess) plays Paul Cicero and Scorsese's parents, Charles and Catherine also appear. This is a terrific film with a great cast that's definitely one of Scorsese's best I recommend.
