Goodfellas:
A young man grows up in the mob and works very hard to advance himself through the ranks. He enjoys his life of money and luxury, but is oblivious to the horror that he causes. A drug addiction and a few mistakes ultimately unravel his climb to the top. Based on the book "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi.
One word to describe this film is perfect. All the aspects you look for in a mobster film are just perfect in Goodfellas. From the voiceover in the beginning, to the songs, the acting (from a superb cast), the action, and the visuals; they're all just perfect. And Martin Scorsese can be given credit for a lot of those perfections due to his amazing direction of this movie.
Throughout the movie, many minor events are encountered, which I personally don't like in movies, however this film is crafted in such a good way that the 2 hours and 25 minutes that are filled with entertainment and pure enjoyment pass by so quickly. The script of this movie is stunning as it gives all the necessary details for the audience to feel attached to some of the characters and feel pure hatred to some others and giving us many memorable quotes.
Score:9/10.
