Mean Streets [Blu-ray]

Brilliant first gangster film from Mr De Niro. Set the tone for all the onesthat followed. If you have'nt got it your'e missing out.

Having never seen this film before I went in without any expectations. Just that it had some big named actors and director. I also love Second Sight film transfers into 4k so this was an easy buy for me. This film looks gorgeous in 4k. Really impressed with the grain and clarity of the film. The film itself is brilliant. Some awesome performances. De Niro and Keitel steal the show. Also it comes with a very nice booklet and film cards. Very impressive presentation from Second Sight.

Really good film.Gritty portrayal of low life gangsters in Little Italy. Kietel's brotherly patience with feral De Niro is superhuman - I would have kicked his ass within the first half hour! Having said that the interaction between the two close friends is great.Loved the line 'you don't make up for your sins in church, you do it in the streets.You do it at home. The rest is BS and you know it"..... May be typical gangster fare but it kept me entertained.Perfect for movie buffs, gangster / action / De Niro fans.

A superb film. Harvey Keitel and Robert De Nero turn in stunning performances, in fact the whole cast shines, especially Teresa, the girl Charlie (Keitel) shouldn't be dating as her epiplespy is frowned upon. As usual with De Nero, certain scenes just explode, and the intensity is literally fightening, for example the scene where he (Johnny Boy) erupts with rage at Charlie (or rather, himself, due to his own predicament at being unable to meet owed payments). The charm of the film is the way Keitel is torn between his mob lifestyle and a sense of ethics. The musical score is incredibly effective; as pointed out by another reviewer the drunk-in-bar scene is brilliant, and the music just highlights the rather eerie and dark feel of the whole scene. To think I snapped up this film for about £5 off Amazon; I guess some things in life are fantastic value for money after all! Awesome.

Excellent boxset. They really make an effort on the movie. 3 stars because it was delivered in a thin bit of cardboard. No bubble wrap or protection whatsoever.

Good

A fore runner of those great gangster movies of the late 70s and 80s. All the usual suspects with some great performances here - Harvey Keitel and Robert DeNiro are excellent with bravura performances my the rest of the cast. A must have for fans of the genre - go on buy it - make them an offer they cannot refuse.

Very good film and clearly the forerunner for future mob films.as were the films from the 30s & 40s.Its all there if you look. Up to and including the ideas for the Sopranos.The fete/feast of the Saint.The mob member with their own bar and grill.The infighting over power and money.A brillient climax builds over Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro) owing money to Micheal..So glad I ordered this. Didnt know it existed until recently I got a link to it because I ordered another film online.This is a keeper and no mistake.
