GoodFellas is based on the Nicholas Pileggi novel Wiseguy, which in turn is supposedly based on the true story of Irish-Sicilian mobster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta). While the narration from Hill's viewpoint, wonderfully spoken by Liotta, lends some credence to the 'true story' claim, it is hard to suspend one's disbelief with the ability of Hill and his accomplices to get away with as much criminal behaviour as this film claims they did. In any case, the film follows Hill from his childhood, through his years in the Mafia with his friend Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) and their mentor Jimmy 'The Gent' Conway (Robert De Niro), to the time when it all goes wrong and he flees to the confines of the Witness Protection Program. Those who are familiar with the real-life story of Henry Hill will already know how the film ends, so it is what happens between Points A and B that makes this film what it is.It is a rather unique look at life inside the Sicilian crime organization, with director Martin Scorsese once again pointing out that the Mafia is a business, not an army of thugs determined to fight each other and society.
