Review of GoodFellas (1990) by Ken S — 23 Feb 2014
The story of Henry Hill and his life in the mafia. I think one of the things I liked about this movie is that it wasn't the same as other gangster movies...it wasn't about the guy who slowly went up in the ranks or slowly gained power to be some great mafia kingpin.
..its more about the mafia grunts. Henry, Jimmy, and Tommy are great characters because they aren't the top guys. That is not to say Paul Sorvino is bad as Pauly, but the focus of the movie is really on the mid level guys.
It is a mafia epic that showcases Henry's young life up to his entry in the Witness Protection Program, and it is some great cinema.
