Review of GoodFellas (1990) by Andy P — 22 Dec 2013

Martin Scorsese's epic is much more matter of fact in its insider chattiness and observations of of the manners and fashions of the mob world than the mythological The Godfather. It manages to convey the dead end horrors of a life outside the law as well as the allure with fascinating and assured style, under-laid by a constant barrage of cunningly selected pop hits suiting each scene perfectly.
