About this movie

Gangsters never refer to themselves as gangsters. They are made-men, wiseguys or Goodfellas. Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese exposes the fascinating, mysterious and violent underworld of New York's Mafia families through the life of insider Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) as he rises from smalltime thug to mobster under the guidance of Jimmy Conway (Academy Award winner Robert De Niro) in this searing, epic crime drama based on the chilling true-life best seller Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi.

Ratings and reviews

Good movie. I wasn't old enough to have any personal experiences like this, but what I picture the Italians and mafia fits this movie line. Doesn't matter how much respect, ppwer and money u have, its still the ones closest to you that helps u fall...

Vulgar and violent. This movie should be rated R for use of drugs, violence and vulgar language. This movie must be a classic, and its based off a true story. Exciting movie and very cool!

I rented it but its been 3 day's already I couldn't watch it for some reason. Weird. Pity I've been wanting to watch it again :/
