Review: Quintessential picture about "wiseguys," at turns both violent and
funny. A young man grows up in the mob, works hard to advance himself through
the ranks, and enjoys the life of the rich and violent, oblivious to the horror
of which he is a part. Cocaine addiction and many wiseguy missteps ultimately
unravel his climb to the top. Excellent performances (particularly Liotta and
Pesci, with De Niro pitching in around the corners), with visionary
cinematography and careful pacing. Watch for Scorsese's mom as Pesci's mom.
Based on the life of Henry Hill, ex-mobster now in the Witness Protection
Program. Adapted from the book by Nicholas Pileggi.
