The story of wo best friends, Sam 'Ace' Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, and how they reached the top of the mafia world starting from small-time thugs to big time corrupt entrepreneurs. A wild ride through money, casinos, gambling, booze, drugs, violence and a trophy wife!
Martin Scorsese definitely has a niche for filming movies about people that came to power by looking down upon the society's laws and how the uphill turned them into greedy monsters that eventually kill their own selves. He certainly does it so poetical;y, though, closely examining each element of their psychosynthesis and portraying its positive and negative side as a harmonious two-steps-forward-three-step back ride to death. Hats off!
Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci go together like hamburger goes with fries, like gambling goes with losing. One completes the other in this wheel of fortune that is bound to turn against them. Sharon Stone completes the main cast as the poisonous woman that has to have everything. James Woods, Don Rickles, Frank Vincent and many other classic, mafia faces appear and elevate this movie to the top of the mountain of coke they just imported!
Must watch this : with your best buds only, pizza and heavy atmosphere. This movie doesn't need any women around, this is about Rocknrollas! After the film, daydream about being out of the law, rich and full of women. Keep daydreaming until it hurts and then listen to that mellow sucka to calm you down.
