Based on Pileggi's book, Scorsese's biopic of Henry Hill is so well-crafted, shot, and acted that it easily overcomes some of the film's shortcomings, such as its dramatic shaplessness and less than powerful ending.

Top Critic A multi-generational tale of bad money, it is the defining American movie of the 1990s; Scorsese hasn’t made a film half as good since its 1990 release.

...one of the best-- and most influential -- American movies ever made.

Long and brutal, but Scorsese was never better at marshalling his cinematic tools to tell a story ... his definitive statement about the New York City mob.

A drama that injects your adrenal glands with the thrill of living from score to score and walking the streets with limitless power.

The iridescence of, and questions asked by Goodfellas place the film among the great American classics.
05/13/05
The best gangster movie of all-time and easily, one of the best overall flicks ever.
02/07/05
the film that Scorsese was born to make, and will be forever cited among Oscar's most glaring omissions
09/04/04
Brutal, stylish, hypnotic and addictive, GoodFellas remains Scorsese's best film.
