The Best Mafia movie since the Godfather Trilogy!

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2005)

If not better! This is undoubtedly one of the best movies of the 90's. I have to admit, I never paid much attention to gangster flicks until I saw this masterpiece. The movie is adapted from the book "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi, and I have to say, Scorsese did an excellent job. The movie tells the true story of Henry Hill(Ray Liotta) and his life in the mob. It tells about how he came into the mob, his troubled love life, and his relationship with his friends: The psycho Tommy DeVito(Joe Pesci) and the respected Jimmy "The Gent" Conway(Robert DeNiro). The whole cast delivers excellent performances and the use of music in this movie is some of the best I've seen. The real Henry Hill once said that the portrayal of mob life in this movie is 99% accurate. I recommend this to not only mob movie lovers, but movie lovers in general!
