Critics Consensus

Hard-hitting and stylish, GoodFellas is a gangster classic -- and arguably the high point of Martin Scorsese's career.

It is a fascinating character study, brilliantly acted by all concerned and directed with astonishing virtuosity by Scorsese.

GoodFellas, written by Nicholas Pileggi and Martin Scorsese, and directed by Scorsese, is the greatest film ever made about the sensual and monetary lure of crime, and the whole perversely brilliant movie comes into focus in a single, staggering shot.

Like everything Scorsese makes, it is crisp and clean, with exciting cinematography and superior acting. Despite its length, it is fast-moving and gripping. I walked away emotionally drained from more than two hours of tension.

This slick and searing drama will stand for years as a classic in the gangster genre.

We probably didn't need yet another mob movie, but if we did, this wasn't the fresh angle it would have been nice to see explored.

10/10

Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas is both a wildly entertaining gangster movie and a sobering cautionary tale warning against a life of crime.
