All my life I always wanted to be a gangster

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2013)

Henry Hill is a small time gangster in New York, along with his two confidants and friends Jimmy "The Gent" Conway and Tommy DeVito. embark on three decades of crime and corruption in the world of organized crime.
One of the finest mafia movies ever made, Scorsese delves into the fascinating, alluring and dangerous world of the mob. De Niro once again proves why once again he is one of the finest actors of his generation. The chemistry between Pesci, De Niro and Liotta is off the scale. The concept and pacing of the story is wonderful and one of the finest films i can recommend. Violent, yes but its necessary to the story. Lorraine Bracco plays her role brilliantly and brings a certain east coast charm. The feeling of being out of control grows with the viewer as you watch its principal character spiral into welcomed chaos and violence. I find Goodfellas to be one of Scorsese's finest films and any fan of cinema needs to make it a point to witness this film. Appealing in many ways, you'll find yourself helpless to turn away as its quite easy to get attached to these characters even though they are excessively violent and out of control.
