If you ain't seen this film, you're missing the second or third (behind Godfather Part 1 and maybe Part 2) greatest ganger flick made since the gov't forced Hollywood to tone down the violence & Warner Brothers almost died cos of it.

Ray Liotta is a lifelong mobster. He's friends with other mobsters, namely Robert De Niro & Joe Pesci. The flick deals w\ the their lives within the Italian mafia from the '50s to the '80s. Damn well done. Out-fucking-standing acting from De Niro, Pesci, & Liotta. Good directing, cinematography, score, editing, etc. About everything went right for this flick.

If you ain't heard of this, you've been living in a cave. If you ain't seen it, you're simply missing out. Go fucking rent it.

Verdict : 4.5 stars. -.5 stars for underutilizing Samuel L. Jackson in a bit role.

Nothing touches The Godfather 1 & 2, but Goodfellas does indeed come close. Where Godfather shows the crime family from the top where they try to stay above the petty shit, Goodfellas takes place in the trenches.

I really thought this movie was just OK. Maybe 7.5/10.

The acting was good, the story was good... I just thought it dragged on a lot, especially in the middle.
