Editorial

Why Eltorama recommends this film

Three minutes. Henry Hill, his future as a gangster, the trunk, the stabbing, the gunshots, the freeze-frame, the voiceover. Scorsese tells you exactly who Henry is and exactly what he loves before "I always wanted to be a gangster" closes the prologue.
