Scorsese once again demonstrates his formal brilliance in this impeccably constructed film about three decades of life with the mob. Based on Nicholas Pileggi's best seller Wiseguy, GoodFellas displays a stunning narrative virtuosity from its first shot to its last. And the actors, especially Joe Pesci and Lorraine Bracco, all give powerful, passionate performances. Don't miss this. Also starring Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, and Paul Sorvino.
