Greatest mob movie ever,better paced than the godfather films

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2004)

I will keep my review on this masterpiece short.Unless your a recluse who doesn't know about this film please go and buy a copy and watch it or you'll kick yourself when some young punk upstart trys to remake it starring Freddy prinze jr or josh hartnett(urrghh).Three decades of a mob associates life are played out for our viewing pleasure,Ray liotta has not had a decent role since apart from lending his voice to'Grand theft auto,vice city'a video game.Joe pesci won a well deserved best supporting actor Oscar for his portrayal of unstable nutbag 'tommy devito'.The soprano's owes a lot to this film especially the way the violence and dialogue are portrayed in a rather unflinching fashion,i almost forgot Robert de niro's in this movie so that should make fans of real actors rush out and grab a copy,i have seen this movie about 20 or 30 times and never get sick of it,Scorsese please make more classics like this and save a dying artform.
