Mean Streets Reviews

Apr 10, 2025

Nice historical piece showing the origins of the director's style. Scenes and dialogue sometime feel random and unimportant (like: what did I just watch and why?). An interesting first stepping stone in the dark world of American thugs living in the 70s.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tem cenas mais ou menos, mas a história é meio chata e desinteressante, o elenco é bom e alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, mas não o suficiente para ser bom.

Well, if Seinfeld is the 온라인카지노추천 show about nothing, then Mean Streets is the movie about nothing. A group of Italian-American "kids" have a great time at the bar, the movies, at the parties and in the streets of New York, and there's always the bad seed, the good for nothing, here with the face of Robert De Niro, who puts the others and especially the Catholic Charlie, with the face of Harvey Keitel, and that's that, seeing the misadventures of these individuals until the words The End come out. Of the first works of director Martin Scorsese, and it shows, the performances are not the best, I think those who do it best are the main ones, but what is terrible is the editing and the extras, but hey, it's the third one, so it's understood.

There is something unique and special about Scorsese's early films. I like this film, Mean Streets. The casual delivery of the dialogue and interactions between the characters feel real, tangible, and natural.

4.5. Excellent film but at no point did the streets show any emotion. Should've recast the sidewalk especially.

Good, not great. Unlikable characters. Flat dialogue. Not Scorsce's best.

Definitely the worst of what I've seen from Scorsese. The score was nice, aside from the perennial inundation of Italian music. The characters were not likeable. A bunch of annoying, obnoxious, Italian New Yorkers. I can give credit to the acting but that's all. This film really only receives the praise it does because it's got Scorsese's name to it. It has that early 70's NYC realism to it which is its strength, along with the cinematography, and score.

The movie lacked a story. 20 minutes in, I was still searching for a point. Halfway through, I was still searching for a point. When it ended, all I thought was "what just happened and why did it take two hours". The style was good, the picture was good, and I did like the characters. The story just didn't go anywhere which was a shame. I didn't exactly expect a masterpiece, but I expected a decent movie all around and I guess I somewhat got that.

Para um filme de estreia é um bom filme, com bastante camera na mão e ideia na cabeça, mas é um filme bem fora da caixinha, recomendo só a quem é fã do Scorcese mesmo a vê-lo.

Visually and audibly pleasing at best. The story has lots of dead ends and really is not interesting at all. Fun to watch but just a bunch of characters yelling, fighting, and not really developing. Would not recommend watching if you think it's going to be a masterpiece. It's more of a entry into the playing field for Scorsese. Clearly not a very developed story. More just a showcase of style. Besides that the acting and cinematography is really good. Just lacks a story which had me irked the whole time watching.

Boring. Don't waste your time, watch Goodfellas instead, but not the Irishman. Mean streets is rubbish but not as bad as the Irishman. I had to up my score to one star when I remembered how bad the Irishman was. p.s. My wife thought the Irishman was better, even though we couldn't bear to watch it all the way through. She said mean streets was the worst film she's ever watched from start to finish.

Truly terrible. No direction and a complete waste of time.

De las mas flojas de Scorsese, aun asi es buenisima

Aug 16, 2023

A thrillingly created portrait of New York in the 1970s, Martin Scorsese's gritty film is above all believable. Robert De Niro gives a sensationally improvised performance as Johnny Boy, and Keitel's brilliant Charlie underline the seriousness and hilarity of the movie.

stupid horrible unusable & vicious rascals real scums just good to go to trash

Rehearsal for the Good Fellas Back in 1973, Martin Scorsese was a young aspiring director in the gangster movie genre. And Mean Streets is his first work in this genre and the first work paired with De Niro. Bright and the first serious work of Harvey Keitel as well. Now, when the film is already 50 years old, you begin to appreciate its significance for world cinema and you understand that without the evil streets it would not be possible to shoot a Taxi Driver and especially Good Fellas. The film shows the realism of New York in the 70s. The way things turn out, rackets and bribes. The strengths of the film are definitely visual, but static, and so are the dialogues. The film is not as strong in dynamics as we are used to seeing in further works of Scorsese, but this gives it the taste of the author's film.

Very few movies have been able to capture what growing up Italian and living in the old real NYC like Mean Streets!

pues solo son un montón de tipos que se deben dinero y se golpean entre ellos pero la fotografía es muy bonita, es más, nunca entendí la trama pero la cámara me entretuvo bastante...

May 12, 2023

Led by magnificent performances from Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel and powdered with grimy aesthetics, Mean Streets has structural issues and is a bit repetitious but it is a roughly drenched, intelligently profound and strikingly honest movie that functioned as a major building block for Martin Scorsese's legendary carriere.

My favorite Scorsese movie. There's something very simplistic and real about the characters and their relationship with one another. Keitel is incredible in this one.
