Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2001)

This is a flawless movie. Not a damn thing wrong with it. It's awfully hard for me to pick a favorite movie but if I had to, this one would be up there battling for the top spot. Martin Scorsese again proves to all doubters that he is the master. When it comes to making an urban saga, you can't top Scorsese. It's futile to even try. From the first frame of the movie, you're sucked in and vacum sealed until the credits are over. Everything is top notch. Joe Pesci gives one of the most memorable performances in screen history. He takes what could have been a cliched, one dimensional character and gives him life. Underneath all his boasts and jokes you can see a truly insane man waiting for something to set him off. It's scary just to watch him on the screen. You think he's gonna step out and smack you around. It's a damn shame that he hasn't made a movie since Leathal Weapon 4. This movie was so good that Scorsese practically remade it with Casino. To watch a master at work and see the best film of the 90's, watch Goodfellas.
