5 stars (Exceptional) The lowly, blue-collar side of New Yorks Italian mafia is explored in this crime biopic of wiseguy Henry Hill. Impressive cast and outstanding script - one of those rare times you leave a cinema theatre knowing you've just witnessed something special. ~GenXGirl

5 stars (Exceptional) One of the all time greatest gangster films, Scorsese gives us a detailed and emotional insight to the violent, cruel, and edgy lives of young wannabe 'Made Men'. Brilliant performances from all, and a script that captures even the smallest of details. ~Tom H

5 stars (Exceptional) A jukebox musical as tabloid-Americana, a pitch-black comedy of unhinged machismo, and the last word in mob movie drama. The content feels utterly real even as the style consistently dazzles us. Bet you can't just watch it once. ~fairbrother

2 stars (Good Try) Rewatching 30 years on & the film has not weathered well. The time & place is well done & the in your face erudite language hasn't aged but the rest of the screenplay just comes across as a series of violent acts. ~Tubbs
