The Cop and Crook Commentary with Henry Hill and Ed Mcdonald

Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece GoodFellas immortalizes the hilarious,
horrifying life of actual gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), from his teen years
on the streets of New York to his anonymous exile under the Witness
Protection Program. The director's kinetic style is perfect for recounting Hill's
ruthless rise to power in the 1950s as well as his drugged-out fall in the late
1970s; in fact, no one has ever rendered the mental dislocation of cocaine
better than Scorsese. Scorsese uses period music perfectly, not just to
summon a particular time but to set a precise mood. GoodFellas is at least
as good as The Godfather without being in the least derivative of it. Joe
Pesci's psycho improvisation of Mobster Tommy DeVito ignited Pesci as a
star, Lorraine Bracco scores the performance of her life as the love of Hill's
life, and every supporting role, from Paul Sorvino to Robert De Niro, is a
miracle
