Martin Scorsese explores the life of organized crime with his gritty, kinetic adaptation of Nicolas Pileggi's best-selling Wiseguy,
the true-life account of mobster and FBI informant Henry Hill. Set to a
true-to-period rock soundtrack, the story details the rise and fall of
Hill, a half-Irish, half-Sicilian New York kid who grows up idolizing
the "wise guys" in his impoverished Brooklyn neighborhood. He begins
hanging around the mobsters, running errands and doing odd jobs until he
gains the notice of local chieftain Paulie Cicero (Paul Sorvino), who takes him in as a surrogate son. As he reaches his teens, Hill (Ray Liotta)
is inducted into the world of petty crime, where he distinguishes
himself as a "stand-up guy" by choosing jail time over ratting on his
accomplices. From that moment on, he is a part of the family. Along with
his psychotic partner Tommy (Joe Pesci),
he rises through the ranks to become Paulie's lieutenant; however, he
quickly learns that, like his mentor Jimmy (Robert DeNiro), his
ethnicity prevents him from ever becoming a "made guy," an actual member
of the crime family. Soon he finds himself the target of both the feds
and the mobsters, who feel that he has become a threat to their security
with his reckless dealings. Goodfellas was rewarded with six Academy
Award nominations including Best Picture; Pesci would walk away with
Best Supporting Actor for his work. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide
Review
Seventeen years after revising the book on gangster movies in his breakthrough Mean Streets, Martin Scorsese
returned to the netherworld of Italian-American organized crime with
this stunningly ambitious, ferociously entertaining look at one man's
rise and fall in a Mafia family. Shot and edited with a propulsive sense
of rhythm that Gene Krupa would envy (this may be the fastest 150 minutes in film history), Goodfellas explores the 30-year career of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) as a "mechanic" working for mob boss Paulie Cicero (Paul Sorvino).
While most films about gangsters attribute their characters' criminal
lives to greed or sociopathic behavior, Scorsese makes it clear Henry
and his friends Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci)
are gangsters because they enjoy it: they like to steal, they enjoy
violence, and their "work" allows them to profit from these qualities,
which would be a hindrance in nearly any other career. However, while
the film offers a point-blank look at New York's criminal underworld
from the '50s to the '80s, Scorsese also uses this story as a unusual
but clear moral fable. In the first few reels, Henry and his partners
follow a strict code of honor and make sure to obey Cicero's wishes: you
pay tribute to the boss, you stay away from dealing drugs, and you
don't kill anyone unless it's absolutely necessary. By the mid-'70s,
these guidelines have been forgotten, and as Henry, Jimmy, and Tommy
slip away from Paulie's corrupt but strictly ordered ethical universe,
it leads only to death and betrayal. Scorsese has long been fascinated
with the actions of men searching for a moral compass in a faithless
land, but he's rarely told the story with such kinetic force and
audacious skill. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
