Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Goodfellas is one of those rare films you can watch again and again and still come away feeling you've watched true cinematic mastery at work. The films depiction of the mob is in no way glossy, there's no romantic aspirations of the life of a gangster, it simply puts it as it is. The violence, the cutthroat nature of the lives of these mobsters isn't watered down, if there ever was an anti gang film this may well be it. Ray liotta gives the performance of his career, a height he was never able to hit again and possibly should have earned him an Oscar. De Niro once again proves his craft as the sociopathic Jimmy, teaming up with director Martin Scorcese for a fifth time. Pesci undoubtedly steals the show as the blisteringly violent mobster Tommy De Vito. However the unsung performance of the film falls to Lorraine Bracco as the mob wife a role she play with great energy and brilliant depth, surely Oscar worthy.
If you're looking for the definitive Scorcese film, this may be his best.

This film is the continuation of a whole series of films about organized crime.
A young man from a poor family begins to serve the local mafia. Starting with the execution of small orders, punishing the enemies of mafia, he becomes the organizer of large schemes for selling alcohol and cigarettes. He becomes one of the leaders of local mafia group.In addition to the general romanticism inherent in all the feature films about the mafia, this project reveals the existing problems within the mafia society. The authors concentrate viewer's attention on the problem of loyalty and betrayal, price of friendship, role of women and goals of creating organized criminal groups. In addition, the film highlights the inevitability of tough struggles, clashes and reckoning for crimes. A deeper motive is the experience of the main characters. Despite the deep storyline, the film is easily perceived, has unobtrusive everyday colors and a cheerful composition.Summary: Definitely, the film deserves attention of the audience. Guys from the street who "climb the career ladder," living by their own laws - the Code of Honor, and, at the same time, have kind heart - always capture imagination and are an example for imitation. At a minimum, deep down.
