Mean Streets

Skådespeleriet är genomgående fantastiskt och det är inte svårt att förstå varför Scorsese och De Niro fortsatt att jobba med varandra så länge.

It's safe to say that the chief pleasure to be had from revisiting Mean Streets is De Niro's performance. A whirlwind of random violence and casual mayhem, Johnny Boy is a perfect study of suicidal recklessness...

Mean Streets hasn't lost any of its power - it's the template for how to produce a small, personal film for next to no money and make it compulsive viewing.

...Scorsese’s “Mean Streets” inspired the other main line in modern gangster movies, the film of everyday reality.

Martin Scorsese's 1973 masterpiece marked his birth as an auteur and still feels as fresh and frightening as it did 30 years ago.
