The Big Picture It’s safe to say that the release of Martin Scorsese’s crime movie masterpiece Goodfellas in September 1990 changed the gangster movie genre forever. While films about the mafia had been popular since The Godfather, Scorsese’s epic film sought to humanize gangsters, and show how seductive their lifestyle could be.

However, Terry's return has a hidden agenda—he is an undercover cop tasked with penetrating the Irish-American gang led by Jackie's brother, Frankie. As Terry navigates the dangerous underworld, he finds himself torn between his allegiance to his past and his obligations as a law enforcement officer.
