Goodfellas

When I first watched Goodfellas I thought the characters were really high ranking Mafioso. I was about 10 at the time though.

 

Paulie is a capo. Being a captain in New York, in the 70s, is equivalent to a boss in almost anywhere else.

 

And, of course, Jimmy is the hitman of choice for mob bosses.

It's a lie, he ends up lashing the Russian robot's head right onto the crowd.

That’s good enough for me. Although I remember someone on here spoiling the end of shutter island when it came out and people tried this schtick and you know what, the op was right. Couldn’t be unseen

personally I think the film sags a bit after  Tommy Devito gets whacked by the mob

 

 

Wouldn't say it sags. There's a definite change of pace as it marks a very definitive end to the trio's glory days before Henry verges towards the seedy, coke-fuelled descent into self-destruction. The movie becomes altogether less glamorous after that.
