“Goodfellas” Movie Review
“Goodfellas” Plot Summary
Henry Hill and his friends work their way up through the mob hierarchy.
A classic mobster film.
This is one hell of a film about the mobsters, based on a true story and coming from one of the great directors of all time. This is about Henry Hill, the narrator of the story, an Irish simple person who gets involved with the Mafia at a very young age and continues his life through it. There is no major plot in this film, just isolated incidents one of which was the turning point of Hill’s life. Scorsese, as brilliant as he ever was, shows violence, sex and drugs etc in his own trademark style. And his actors helps him to make this film one of the classics
Robert DeNiro is not present in much of the film, nor his acting leaves too much impression. The three actors who really did their best job here are Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci and Lorraine Bracco. I hate to say that most youngsters today don’t know too much about Liotta or how talented he was. I asked my younger brother about him and he said, ‘The man who did the voice on GTA: Vice City?’. This is partly because Liotta did not get too many big roles after that, especially in recent years. But here he is just brilliant as Hill. It’s Pesci’s one of the best too. Playing a mad mobster with dark sense of humor wasn’t his usual type. And Lorraine Bracco becomes the perfect lead female in such type of films
The film’s got smart screenplay and excellent cinematography. And I don’t know how many times Scorsese will be denied his Academy recognition. I hate to see a lifetime achievement award as his first Oscar. But things are going like that.

Cinematic perfection (minor spoilers)
This film shows us a life lived to the excess. The tone of the film suggests more a study of social behavior than outright gangster film, I have even heard it being classed as a modern day noir, whatever, it’s brilliant
The acting is amazing, the cinematography is top bracket, the music is heavenly (in it’s depiction of Hell). Scorcese was born to make this movie, it’s impossible to study it the first few times you watch because it sweeps you up and dumps you down at the end. It leaves you breathless. There is brutal violence, drug use, and colourful language, but there’s no use complaining because this is the mafia, these are bad people, what do you expect? Told in flashback it is based on the story of Henry Hill, a boy who grows up dreaming of making it in the Mafia, he works his way into the higher ranks of the organised crime syndicate and through a stunning series of set pieces his coke-addled paranoia shows us his downfall and eventual fate. There are various voice-overs to give the action a sense of perspective, but there are so many things going on it’s best just to let it flow
De Niro and Pesci are at the top of their game, and the supporting cast give this film a weight unmatched by many. As examples of perfection of the art of film-making go, not many texts can match Goodfellas, it’s utterly enthralling.

The Ultimate Gangster Film
Goodfellas is the type of movie that has it all. Action, thriller, suspense and even some comedy thrown in makes this epic film the best of it’s kind. The pace of this film is brilliant. There is no dull scene, no fillers and it leaves you completely entertained from start to finish. Joe Pesci is absolutely amazing and deserved the Oscar no question. You don’t even have to be a person that likes gangster films to appreciate Goodfellas. If you were one of the people that found The Godfather to be a little slow or boring at times, I highly recommend this film as a substitute ‘mafia’ film. You will definitely get your money’s worth if you rent this one. Best film of the 90’s without a doubt.
