Plot Outline:
Henry Hill and his friends work
their way up through the mob hierarchy. The lowly,
blue-collar side of New York's Italian mafia is explored in
this crime biopic of wiseguy Henry Hill. As he makes his way
from strapping young petty criminal, to big-time thief, to
middle-aged cocaine addict and dealer, the film explores in
detail the rules and traditions of organized crime. Watching
the rise and fall of Hill and his two counterparts, the slick
jack-of-all-trades criminal Jimmy Conway and the brutish,
intimidating Tommy DeVito, this true story realistically
explores the core, blue-collar part of the mob.

Comments:
This is
the gangster film at its finest. Scorsese is on top form as are
Pesci and De Niro. Liotta has never bettered the performance he
gives here. The film starts as it means to go on - violent, full
of profanity, fast paced and very stylish. The story follows
Liotta's character from boy to man as he climbs his way up
through the ranks of organised crime. We see all the highs and
lows of his life and meet a host of very believable and very
undesirable characters along the way. It's a film full of
memorable scenes whilst remaining much more than the sum of its
individual parts at the same time. This is what all movies should
be like. It draws you in and won't let you out of its grasp at
any point. When it finishes you feel exhausted and exhilarated at
the same time. If ever the word 'masterpiece' was meant to be
used, it was for this film.
