The film pulsates with a raw, kinetic energy that few crime dramas ever capture and even fewer sustain. From the slick suits and the endless slang to the sense of dangerous privilege, the world at the centre of the story is seductive, loud and chaotic. But beneath that surface glitz is a quieter, creeping rot—friendships fraying, rules being broken, loyalty turning into self-interest. The direction is confident and ruthless. Scenes of violence erupt almost as glibly as jokes, glamour flips into terror with no pause. The camera virtually breathes with the characters, pulling us into their atmosphere of exclusion and belonging, bravado and fear. And yes, the performances are razor sharp when the façade cracks, you feel the damage. What stands out most is how the movie makes you like people you shouldn’t like, and even root for them, for a moment. Then it reminds you why you shouldn’t. That tension between identification and recoil is the film’s heart. It doesn’t moralise so much as it observes the glamour and the cost, sometimes simultaneously. If there’s a caveat, it’s that the film doesn’t walk you neatly to redemption. The climax doesn’t feel like a tidy payoff but rather a slow unravelling, where the narrative tension loosens into regret and routine. Some viewers find that unsettling; you expect a grand statement, and instead get fractured silence. In closing:- this is a bold, unflinching look at power, loyalty, decay—and the seductive danger of a life built on impulse and advantage. It stands as a towering piece of filmmaking.

Martin Scorsese was at his best when he made GoodFellas. It received five Oscar nominations and a winner for Best Supporting Actor for Joe Pesci. It's speechless for how great this movie was and it still is. GoodFellas is a fantastic crime drama and it's impeccably done throughout. The story is based on a true story ad it's taken place from 1955 to 1980. It tells a story about Henry Hill played by Ray Liotta narrating about his life as a gangster. Lorraine Bracco sometimes narrates as Karen Hill, aside from that, Ray Liotta does all the narrating. It's in the book. It's in the non-fiction book by Nicholas Pileggi called Wiseguy. Of course, everyone knows the scene where Henry tells Tommy that he is funny cause the way he tells stories and Tommy says "What do you mean I'm funny?" "Funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you?" This is a famous scene for Joe Pesci as his acting is incredible. As far as this film goes, this is a perfect film for everyone who is a huge fan of Martin Scorsese. It has a great story that is so true, fantastic Oscar winning acting by everyone who played great characters and best direction from Martin Scorsese. It's everyone's favourite film of all time and considered one of the greatest films of all time. Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.
