Undeniably great

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2001)

This film is undoubtedly the best gangster movie I've seen. All the principals - Scorcese as director, De Niro, Liotta, Pesci are at their best here. The movie is also unfortunately full of 4 letter words and unbelievably violent scenes, but that's part of the reality of the Mafia underworld the film portrays. Full of fine little touches - my favorites are the characters Frankie Two Times and Johnny Roast Beef.
