So I finished the PS2 Mafia, and despite it's flaws, the strong cinematic story and cutscenes really endure it to me. I loved
it, especially the ending.
So I decided to rent out Goodfellas. Martin Scorcese is a brilliant film maker, no doubt. My first taste of his movies was the excellent Raging Bull, before moving on to Gangs of New York, which I also thought was executed with stylish brilliance. Now that my interest in mob movies was piqued, I thought well might as well rent one from a guy who has entertained me on every movie I had seen so far (admittedly two isn't a great amount).
But this movie is excellent. The cast is very very solid, but I must admit I was surprised as I thought Deniro would be the focus of the movie. But Liotta does a fantastic job. I really loved the movie, the only thing I wasn't fond of is how his wife becomes a crack whore for no reason.
