All Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) wanted to be was a gangster. Beginning as a moving man for the mafia, he eventually works his work up the ranks alongside his two associates Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci).

This is a perhaps Martin Scorsese's best film and it depicts just how excellent he really is. From the opening scene where the three brutally murder an already lifeless body in a trunk of a car, this just shows how bloody and shocking the gangster life really was. One would probably know how real this film feels as it is based on real life gangsters.

The performances are excellent in this film, from Ray Liotta leading and narrating to Robert De Niro as the menacing mentor. The standout out for me was the brilliant but psychotic Tommy who threatening and killed anyone who tormented him. Joe stole every scene he was in for me and their was no surprise Joe won best supporting actor. He was also in my favourite scene of the whole movie with the "How am I Funny" speech which I believe was improvised to further prove how good he was.

On a final note, I do think it was quite funny how very early on the movie Jimmy tells Henry to always keep his mouth shut then proceeds to narrate his life. This movie is a classic that I think everyone must see . 9/10.
