Simply a Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2012)

If I can pick out a flaw in this film it would be that it's unbelievably addictive. I remember there was a day I watched it twice back to back after watching it the day before and a couple of times the week before. Even though I knew what will happen each second and know every single dialogue I'm still so fascinated by the film, I'm so fascinated that I even purchased the book. Most people say books are better than films which I agree however Goodfellas surpassed the book! All credit goes to Martin Scorcese, the cast, the acting and the amazing music.
From the minute Goodfellas start you just don't want the film to end you get so caught up in lives of 'Henry Hill', 'Jimmy Conway' and 'Tommy deSimone' (played to perfection by Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci who got an Oscar for his role)that you just want to live the life you wan to live their lives as Henry says 'I always wanted to be a Gangster' as he narrates it you understand why he wanted to become a gangster, why he chose to live this life. The way it's been portrayed by the cast is spectacular even by the young artist.
Even after watching the film a couple of times I never knew that Goodfellas was based of real events I always somehow use to miss the beginning and ending credits. And once I started researching it I just thought to myself Wow how Martin Scorese made the film feel so realistic that every time I watch it i forget about the whole world and surroundings and I feel like I'm living around the likes of Henry Hilly and jimmy the gent. Even the real Henry Hill said that every actor portrayed their roles to perfection.
This is not only the best gangster film ever made however it's the best film ever made and nothing will ever come close!
