Scorsese's best

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2006)

Minor Spoiler warning Overall, just a brilliant movie. It is vintage Martin Scorsese and is easily the best movie made in the 1990s, definitely one of the best ever made in history. We follow Hill for thirty years and we see the good times, the not so good times, and disasters of the Mafia. The ending is great and as Hill reflects on his life as a "goodfella" you truly understand what the life in Mafia is like. All the actors are perfectly cast and Joe Pesci easily gives the best performance of his career. Overall, the story weaves together perfectly and leaves you wishing that you could have sat down for one of the poker games in the back room.
