tommy d Feb 3, 2026 Absolutely beautiful in a theater. I can only imagine seeing it when it originally released.

Even by the standard of the time- it's not very good. I have most of his stuff but can't keep this one for my collection. See more Christian M @chriss17eu Feb 5, 2026 'Mean Streets' doesn’t spark immediate enthusiasm in me. I feel an early distance from both its story and characters. Harvey Keitel feels familiar and compelling, once again embodying the same guilt-driven, Catholic soul. Watching him wrestle with faith and desire is engaging. De Niro takes longer to click, but once he does, he becomes the film’s gravitational center, carrying scenes with pure charisma while the rest mainly serve their dynamic. The story is almost dull at times, drifting between romance, sex, and violence in a masculine world ruled by honor and pride. Yet halfway through, something shifts: the tone sharpens, the pieces fall into place, and my interest grows. The final moments stay with me. They don’t fix everything, but they give it meaning. See more Trevor D @Bozack2000 Jan 31, 2026 You can tell that Scorsese was figuring out how to tell a story. This movie is a wonderful mess that has so many direction changes the audience gets whiplash. Lucky for the rest of us he figured it out and learned how to tell amazing stories. Plus it was really cool seeing this on the big screen as I wasn't alive when it was originally released. See more Read all reviews
