As far back as I remember

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2016)

This movie is Scorsese just being Scorsese. What I love most about Scorsese is his ability to humanize horrible people. 90% of the characters in this movie are horrible people but we feel for them, we care about their journeys and their struggles. Scorsese finds a perfect balance because when something big hits them, we don't feel to bad when they get what they deserve.
The narration is a stroke of genius as Henry Hill takes us through a long walk through his mob life. Ray Liotta was great, as was Joe Peschi and Robert De Niro. This movie benefits from a very talented cast, which is something you get with Scorsese. The actors want to put in their best performance.
The movie does a very good job at not glorifying gangster life but giving us a curious look and for that, I cannot fault it.
