This is great.
My first time watching 'GoodFellas', but I had obviously heard massive amounts about it for years and years; especially after seeing and loving 'The Sopranos'. I was hoping it would live up to the hype and it certainly did.
Ray Liotta is outstanding as Henry, it is fascinating seeing the story through his point of view. Robert De Niro is, for me anyway, the star of this however. Every single scene he brings his A-game, which I expected given how universally acclaimed that man is. Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino are also superb.
The whole film is put together excellently, I specifically enjoyed the paranoia stuff late on with Henry & Co. My only critique would be the part of the plot with the FBI typist, which kinda came out of nowhere. It is part of the storytelling though, so not even close to a major complaint of mine.
The pacing is tremendous too. It didn't feel like I had just watched a two hour plus production, which is always a pleasing thing but something you don't always get.
If you haven't already, you gotta watch this.
