Mean Streets=Mean Scorsese Flick
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This one is a genuine Scorscese film, in the richness of imagery, questions of morality, loyalty, and religious dilemmas. DeNiro's first major role is terrific in its simplicity, youthfulness and lack of pretension. The script is solid and deals with realistic life issues. The filming is a bit off, but that can be forgiven for the strength of the story and the acting. Keitel's best role in my opinion as a conflicted catholic with dual loyalties to family/friends and religious obligations. I love the ending of the film, which really is a climax that puts the whole movie in perspective. A can't miss for Deniro, Keitel and Scorscese fans.
