Disagree about Pesci, I thought he was great in it. De Niro was aight, not his best performance but whatever

Part of it is the name recognition too. Pacino + De Niro + Pesci is gonna get the movie made and get the budget Scorsese wants over Shannon + Graham + Cannavale even though they are all great actors

you're probably right. Every person in the world that saw Goodfellas and Casino probably went to see this movie because of them. Maybe because of Marty to tho

I liked how when they introduced some character they always showed how they got killed.
Kind of an anti Mafia movie. For most of them.... dead/in jail.
Kind of fukked up, that they dont get you for the murders you did but they can give you 20 yrs for arson or buying a car lower than what its worth
Those scenes when they were in jail hit hard and the one where he was picking his own coffin.
I probably was sad for the actors because they're all up there not for the gangsters
