One of my all time favorites. Usually narration is just a weak attempt to make up for a poorly thought out story line, but this is definitely an exception. Two of the most memorable lines in film come from Ray Liotta's voice-over; in the opening scene and the final line. Once again Thelma Schoonmaker shows that she's better than any other living film editor.
It's an excellent mafia movie. It isnt very bad, there is a lot of profanity. It's pretty violent and there is also sex/drugs. However, a lot of kids can handle this type of material.
This is definitely one of the greatest mafia movies ever made along with the Godfather. There's quite a lot of violence and even more swearing. Great movie to watch for everyone older than 16.
This story is all about the money, which is a great "wake up call" for kids 6 and above. Stealing, lying, and cheating r important life lessons for kids. They need to know that if they want to be at the top, they will have to step on a few bodies to get there, and this story conldnt have said it any better than I can! This story is a family fave in our house!!
