The rise and fall of Henry Hill

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2001)

For someone like me who hasn´t seen Francis Ford Coppola´s "Godfather"-trilogy "Goodfellas" is the ultimate movie about the mob! Scorsese´s work became so brilliant that repeated it with filming another outstanding flick called "Casino". And I´m quite sure that the Dean Martin-biography "Dino", the next film Scorsese will be working on, has to be placed into the same category. Even Robert de Niro wandered in the footsteps of this great example with shooting his direction debut "A Bronx Tale". "Goodfellas" is one of the definite highlights of all persons involved, even an actually average actor like Ray Liotta had the role of his life time with this. Watch that film for a great Robert de Niro, a great direction by Martin Scorsese, great supporting actors like Paul Sorvino, Lorraine Bracco or Joe Pesci, a surprisingly good Ray Liotta and, of course, the catching story. Did I forget anything? God forbid! A masterpiece!!!

10/10
