The Best of the Best...

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 1999)

Truly an absorbing piece of filmmaking. Scorsese has sculpted a fine piece of art here. Every scene is exuberating. Every line is sharp. Every performance astounds. Pesci is especially perfect as the sarcastic, but psychotic mob henchmen, who pulls Liotta's leg in one of the most wonderfully acted scenes ever. While DeNiro is wonderful, the film truly belongs to Liotta who amazes and enthralls with each scene. A classic is all areas. Up and coming directors should study this film if they want to see greatness...
