Review of GoodFellas (1990) by Criviewer — 26 Dec 2015
Simply, an amazing film, a great glimpse in the life of an otherwise secluded society. The constant feeling that all this could be real, that's what makes it so great.
It's such a fine reflection of the mafia culture, the actors are fit perfectly their roles and the scenes are so natural. Surprise and urgency are the two main emotions which define the movie constantly. Although the main turning points are predictable (after all, that the mafia quietly takes that rattles everyone out), they are are still masterfully done. All is well acted with no signs of hesitation nor mercy. It's a clinical performance.
Also, the obsessive psychological inspection of the characters, the carefully developed plot and they way everything makes sense in the end are all the reasons for a straight 10. This is, hands down, straight 10.
Overall, a great movie, one of the best contributions to the western cinema.
