amazing movie

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2014)

I thought this was an amazing movie and portrayal of the events that happened in the life of Henry Hill. The gangsters were truly brought to life and showed the brutality of the way things were back then. Joe Pesci really knew how to put the fear of God into others in his role as Tommy, if the real-life Tommy was anything like that I don't think I would want to meet him. I will admit that the part where I felt a little sympathy for Tommy was during the portion where one of the older gang members got out of jail and was at the bar party and ridiculed Tommy in front of everybody. Although, I did feel that Tommy went too far in his actions of murdering the man. Some of my favorite movies have always been gangster movies based on those time periods.
