Goodfellas was better

Rating: 5/10 (3 March 2007)

Yes this movie was good, but it was so over-hyped that I felt let down afterward. Great acting by the A list cast and the director did his usual work, but he deserved an Oscar for other better work. Ending did leave you scratching your head, but I believe that was an editor's cut which failed to explain what happens at end. Use you imagination to fill in cut of what was in the letter and box. I did gain new respect for Leonardo's acting. This guy did a bang up job and stole many scenes from his co-workers. Personally I have developed a dislike for Matt's work though. Sometimes I feel he tries too hard and not let his natural ability come through as in the first few years of his career. Wahlberg was so intense in his few scenes but he took the film to an all new level. Great work by all, just bad editing that made the movie jumbled at times.
