Henry Hill and friends.
Pesci is amazing, DeNiro is great as usual, Liotta’s good, and the supporting cast is good. “Truth is stranger than fiction”…sometimes, I guess. But sometimes truth is exciting and sometimes truth is just kinda fcken dull…therefore, so is this movie.
But it’s great more often than it is dull, and that’s enough.
One comment, though…it’s REALLY sad when someone like Henry Hill, a womanizing drug addict who thought it was great to “live by the sword” but who ratted out his “friends” so he wouldn’t “die by the sword”, is looked upon by some as ANY kind of hero: tragic, flawed, or otherwise.
Inspirational Scene: Do I have to say it? He’s a funny guy.
