Reviews
In a world that's powered by violence, on the streets where the violent have power, a new generation carries on an old tradition. Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas is without question one of the finest gangster movies ever made, a benchmark even. It’s that rare occasion for a genre fi…
John Chard · 9/10Martin Scorsese (director) always loves details in crime films, but he is not primarily interested in the crime itself. That is why his films are always produced with details that you may see as unimportant to you, especially if you want to see the movie for the purpose of seeing…

"Goodfellas" really only takes a small ration of incidents from Henry Hill's life of crime and proceeds to weave the story from this. What unfolds is an absolutely compelling film which is a superior motion picture on every level that paints a quite frankly deeply unappetising po…
