Henry Hill, James Conway and Tommy De Vito start from the bottom of the Mafia ladder as teenagers and work their way up through numerous violent deeds and criminal acts. Their 30-year service in the Mafia is violently put to a stop when they start dreaming too big...
Martin Scorcese's thing for Mafia films is more than evident and we certainly can't argue with his addiction. Being a biography, this film focuses on the personalities of the heroes and how they evolve through time and hardships rather than staying on the criminal deeds. Glamor and luxury seem to come and go with money and power but this film reminds that way down the road it's all for nothing! A classic Scorcese!
Ray Liotta steals the show here, even though the rest of the cast is equally talented. His character's way up the Mafia hierarchy and then his way down is vividly portrayed in his expressive face and eyes. Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci are his best friends from the start and just when everything seemed to be getting great, the toll of greed for money and power evens things up...
Must watch this : on a rainy November afternoon. After the film, make yourself a cup of coffee and sit yourself down and consider why on earth are you still doing what they tell you!
