Synopsis: Henry Hill is Irish and wants to become a gangster. He starts at school or instead the school. One day he takes part in a big robbery with Jimmy Conway and Tommy De Vito, two other gangsters who have set their sights a bit higher. His two partners kill off everyone else involved in the robbery, and slowly start to climb up through the hierarchy of the Italian  Mob.
Review: I would say, the classical story of the rise and fall of a gangster. This time the difference from Irish to Italian within the Mafia is clearly made, while usually the Irish guy is policeman and the Italian is gangster. The acting is very good and the camera is driving well making some long-take (plan-sequence in French) scenes memorable. But the story is not original enough to bring more points to this movie.
Rating: 6 /10
