GoodFellas

In a world that's powered by violence, on the streets where the violent have power, a new generation carries on an old tradition.

Martin Scorseses Goodfellas is without question one of the finest gangster movies ever made, a benchmark even. Its that rare occasion for a genre film of this type where everything artistically comes together as one. Direction, script, editing, photography, driving soundtrack and crucially an ensemble cast firing on all cylinders. Its grade A film making that marked a return to form for Scorsese whilst simultaneously showing the director at the summit of his directing abilities.

The story itself, based on Nicholas Pileggis non-fiction book Wiseguy, pulls absolutely no punches in its stark realisation of the...

Martin Scorsese (director) always loves details in crime films, but he is not primarily interested in the crime itself. That is why his films are always produced with details that you may see as unimportant to you, especially if you want to see the movie for the purpose of seeing scenes of theft, murder, and so on, but you see the opposite.

A really good film. i loved it!

The Goodfellas is an absolute masterpiece in every sense. Martin Scorsese delivers a raw, unflinching look into the world of organized crime thats as captivating as it is brutal. Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci shine, each bringing unforgettable depth and intensity to their rolesespecially Pesci, whose portrayal of Tommy DeVito is both terrifying and fascinating. The storytelling is flawless, pulling you in with a mix of dark humor, sharp dialogue, and iconic scenes that stay with you long after the credits roll. Add in the perfect soundtrack, and its no wonder this film is considered a classic. The Goodfellas isnt just a movie; its an experience that I can watch over and over again.

I enjoyed the film. Especially the character of Joe Pesci and Robert DeNiro. Great Film!!
