Genres & Description

Action Crime Drama Romance Thriller

7.3 / 10

The future is set for Tony and Michael - owning a neighbourhood bar and making deals in the mean streets of New York city's Little Italy. For Charlie, the future is less clearly defined. A small-time hood, he works for his uncle, making collections and reclaiming bad debts. He's probably too nice to succeed. In love with a woman his uncle disapproves of (because of her epilepsy) and a friend of her cousin, Johnny Boy, a near psychotic whose trouble-making threatens them all - he can't reconcile opposing values. A failed attempt to escape (to Brooklyn) moves them all a step closer to a bitter, almost preordained future.

Johnny Boy is a fucking legend. De Niro deserved the Oscar all the way, no one could have delivered Johnny's part like De Niro did. - @Wednesday, October 24, 2018 8:16 PM

One Of the best Italian American Mafioso films i've seen in my life, Martin Scorsese is a LEGEND! Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Amy Robinson and David Proval who played Ritchie in The Sopranos are all fuckin awesome, Love them all, Especially Amy she looked hot back then - @Saturday, January 6, 2018 3:27 AM

While it's not perfect, and I didn't love it the way I especially loved Taxi Driver, it's still a good film, and Charlie is a very interesting character. I also love the atsmophere of the streets in the film. It's a unqie film, and interesting to watch after seeing some of Scorcese's later films. I'm glad I finally watched Mean Streets - @Monday, December 5, 2016 11:49 AM

What is this movie about? I just watched the previews and it looks boring. I do like Harvey Keitel and Robert Deniro. Martin Scorsese is a good director. Harvey and Robert were also in Cop Land with Sylvester Stallone, Ray Liotta, Robert Patrick(he's from my hometown Cleveland, Ohio). Cop Land was disappointing. - @Thursday, February 12, 2015 7:55 PM

That is so lame, you're really trying to personal offend my personality over internett like that? I can understand you somehow liked the movie. But this is still the shittiest movie I have ever seen. I can't believe that anyone at all can like this. It just show how easy it is to entertain people like you. :) - @Wednesday, May 2, 2012 8:32 PM

What about James Caan, looks extremely different now from when he did the Godfather. Deniro's changed a lot but not to the point where you can't recognize him, The trademark mole on his cheek is a dead giveaway - @Wednesday, January 20, 2010 5:01 AM
