There is no doubt that Martin Scorsese is a living legend of cinema. With a career spanning over 60 years and still going strong, the acclaimed movie-man has tried his hand at numerous genres and styles under different studio backing and has never failed to let his genius shine. Regarded by many to be the greatest director of all time, movies like Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Killers of the Flower Moon, and many others are fair examples of such a high claim.
It's tough to say something about a film that has almost had everything already said about it. The Godfather is a masterpiece and one Scorsese himself would surely have been proud to helm. A movie just as interested in meticulously crafted violence as it is in intricate character development, The Godfather won three Oscars upon release and is now considered a landmark, game-changing entry in New Hollywood cinema and the gangster genre.

Like Goodfellas, City of God is fervently passionate about detailing the evolution of crime over several decades. However, distinctly, City of God is much more interested in a visceral, almost documentary-like uncovering of these truths. To achieve this purpose, Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund were keen to hire non-actors, with this neorealist approach leading to a viewing experience likely to churn stomachs and change lives.
De Niro's Travis Bickle is a character with enormous depth who becomes consumed by the world around him and tries to seek justice through vigilante means. Those who love Travis will certainly love Joe, who spends the movie teetering on the edge of darkness but always seemingly justified in his many, often harrowing actions.
A masterpiece from Mike Newell, the film captures the entire range of human emotion. From biting comedy to moments of bitter sadness, Donnie Brasco is a cathartic viewing experience made all the more so, thanks to its truth. Depp and Pacino are both at their very best, demanding attention without ever making it known.
