GoodFellas

Once you’re at the top the only way is down. ‘Goodfellas’ is a spiraling chaos, a slow motion train wreck that you can’t look away from. Parts of this film you just feel hopeless and you hope the characters make the right choice but they never do. This film depicts greed like no other, after the heist these people still want more. Money for them is an object that means no value to them, these characters break their own rules to. I genuinely thought the ending of this film was going to be a shoot out with the cops/other mafia or a high speed chase, but I am pleasantly surprised that this wasn’t the case. Actors and actresses absolutely cooked here, every single performance was outstanding. This is my first Liotta, Pesce, and I think De Niro film I have seen and I will be watching more from them in future. I will say I was very surprised that Samuel L Jackson is in this one, sure he has 2 minutes of screen time here but I had no clue he was in this one. ‘Goodfellas’ is not what I thought it would be and I am extremely happy with it. I think this is one that everyone should sit down and watch at some point in their life.
