Mean Streets (1973)

 
 
A small-time hood aspires to work his way up the ranks of a local mob. 
 
Amazingly realistic drama following the everyday lives of small times hoodlums; expertly staged with excellent performances throughout.
 
Halliwell****: "Relentlessly sordid melodrama with a good eye for realistic detail. The first film in which Scorsese announced himself as a major talent and discovered the subject matter that has served him so well."
 
Maltin***: "Masterpiece...Technically dazzling film put director Scorsese on the map and deservedly so."
