Rami A Aside from his use of POV shots, Scorsese is a very character-driven storyteller, filmmaker, and director. Something about the characters makes this picture fascinating. In fact, it doesn't feel like you're watching a movie; It feels like you're watching something you'd see on the street. You don’t watch Mean Streets for the story. You watch it because Scorsese makes these people so real, you feel like you could run into them on your block. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review thiago s 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. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Eye C Well, if Seinfeld is the TV 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Dallas H 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review Scorsese's Taint 2 4.5. Excellent film but at no point did the streets show any emotion. Should've recast the sidewalk especially. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
