Goodfellas is one of those gangster films that ages extremely well. It's almost on the same level as The Godfather. The story follows the life of three gangsters Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci), Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), and James Conway ( Robert De Niro) on the rise to power. The story follows many hits, drugs, and great acting all around. The casting in this movie is perfect there is no weak link in the whole group. This is way important because it makes all the actor's performances level with one anther's.
The sets in this movie as great as is the wardrobe. I love the wardrobe because it covers about thirty years of fashion elegantly. Another great fact is that almost all this movie is improved which just blows my mind. This movie is absolutely grand and a pleasure to behold. Most of this is because of Joe Pesci's breath taking performance. But De Niro takes the helm as well.
This movie is hard for me to describe because there isn't one scene that sticks out to me. This is to be taken in a good way because the whole movie does. This movie is a movie all should see when one grows up because this movie is hard R.
Ebert's score 4 stars
Tyler's score 4 stars
