Scorcese's best

Rating: 9/10 (11 April 1999)

What a great movie! Immediately engaging, this movie grabs you from the throat right from the start and never lets go. Through the eyes of Ray Liotta's character, we are introduced into a dizzying world full of memorable characters.
The mafia world is at once glamourized, as the young Liotta grows up to become a prominent figure in the family. Then his dream starts to fall apart as that world of glamour and easy money collapses on him. Similar in its theme to Scarface, this movie is a level above Stone's masterpiece, more stylish, very nineties and comes with a killer soundtrack.
Although you should watch this movie for many reasons, Joe Pesci and Robert DeNiro alone are worth the rental price. Their characters are simply unforgettable.
