Mean Streets


the all-time cl-ssic 1973 film that launched the careers of new york’s finest, martin scorsese, robert de niro, and harvey keitel.

a severely undervalued film, which in my opinion, surp-sses both of scorsese’s later gangster films, goodfellas and casino.

harvey keitel takes on the lead role as a mob debt collector, charlie cappa, a man whose profession, friends, and way of life, often come into conflict with his strong religious beliefs as a catholic. it is, i believe, is his best role and performance ever as an actor. and robert de niro nearly steals the show with his outstanding portrayal of the wild and self-destructive johnny boy. this is the role that launched de niro’s brilliant career.

and of course, this film introduced us to the genius martin scorsese, the best f-cking director and filmmaker in the world.
“you don’t make up for your sins in church, you do it in the streets….the rest is bullsh-t and you know it”

– charlie cappa (mean streets, 1973)
