The future is set for Tony and Michael -- owning a neighborhood bar and making deals in the mean streets of New York City's Little Italy. For Charlie, the future is less clearly defined. A small-time hood, he works for his uncle, making collections and reclaiming bad debts. In love with a woman of whom his uncle disapproves (due to her epilepsy) and a friend of her disturbed cousin, Johnny Boy, a near psychotic whose trouble-making threatens them all -- Charlie just cannot reconcile opposing values. A failed attempt to escape (to Brooklyn) moves them all a step closer to a bitter, almost preordained future.
Leave your thoughts about Mean Streets.
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserScorsese gives us Catholic guilt, misguided loyalty and the urban nostalgia that would lead to such movies as Raging Bull and even New York, New York. |
| Cinema GothamGil JawetzWithout exaggeration, you could make an argument for Mean Streets being the most influential film of the last fifty years. |
| BBC.comNev PierceThe Godfather made the mob glamorous. Mean Streets made it real. Martin Scorsese's ferocious, grimy 1973 classic is just as good as Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece, but it shows us criminal life lower down the food chain. |
| Empire MagazineMark DinningA true rough diamond, Scorsese's breakthrough may be uneven, but at its heart lies fledgling genius. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasMean Streets is a jazzy riff of a movie, zigging and zagging as if to the beat of snapping fingers. Its greatness lies in its leanness, with nary a word, a move, a gesture that's nonessential. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldGarry MaddoxWhile a product of its time -- freewheeling, energetic and raw -- Mean Streets is well worth seeing for the brilliance of De Niro. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMartin Scorsese’s Mean Streets isn’t so much a gangster movie as a perceptive, sympathetic, finally tragic story about how it is to grow up in a gangster environment. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeEveryone involved brings a near-dizzying rhythm to this quintessential 'New York movie' and its collection of outsider-characters, all intoxicated on themselves. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelMartin Scorsese’s Mean Streets is a true original of our period, a triumph of personal filmmaking. It has its own hallucinatory look; the characters live in the darkness of bars, with lighting and color just this side of lurid. It has its own unsettling, episodic rhythm and a high-charged emotional range that is dizzyingly sensual. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawThe movie's blazing energy is still astounding; the vérité street-scenes are terrific and Scorsese's pioneering use of popular music is genuinely thrilling. |
