How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A visceral, propulsive journey through three decades of mob life that seduces you into its world before crushing you with its consequences. It moves with the energy of a criminal high, then the paranoia of inevitable collapse.

Goodfellas is allot of things and that is being fantastic.

From the pacing,the acting,the characters it all felt complete.

Is it my favorite scorsese movie?
Well its on par with it i say.
Also the only movie that i have seen of ray liotta.....is bee movie so this and that being in the same filmography is wild.

Anyway i think the dialogue also can be really funny but then back to serious with a flip of a dime.
The characters are interesting.
The film wastes no time and yeah i think its amazing.
