One of the finest films ever made.

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 1999)

With "Goodfellas," master director Martin Scorsese establishes himself as one of the all-time great filmmakers. Certainly the best film of his career, "Goodfellas" is flawlessly written, produced, edited, acted, and [especially] directed. Scorsese gets excellent performances from the remarkable Ray Liotta and the various supporting cast members. Robert DeNiro, in what may well be the role of his career, plays an Irish gangster destined to forever hover on the outer fringes of the Mob--and, by extension, self-acceptance. Truly, "Goodfellas" is destined to join such cinematic milestones as "Citizen Kane" and "2001" as one of the finest films of all time.
