A raw depiction of a true story

Henry Hill was probably not as likable as Liotta. This film is very entertaining, and it does convey the basic story of what really went down. Nobody on the outside will ever know the full story. Henry pushed the boundaries to the point where he found out the hard way. His only survival move was the path of a "rat." That was probably a lot more common than most movies would make it appear. The acting is top-notch. The story is well told. The direction is, well, Scorsese. It's a worthwhile 145 minutes. Yeah, it's a long one. I love the narration style, Ray and Joe are great narrators. Pesci also ad libbed a very famous scene in the restaurant.
