A “GoodFellas” with heart, “A Bronx Tale” represents a wonderfully vivid snapshot of a colorful place and time, as well as a very satisfying directorial debut by Robert De Niro.

A Bronx Tale is a deliciously well-observed memory piece about growing up in the '60s that marks the vital debut of director Robert De Niro.

Top tier father/son relationship movie built on consequences. De Niro , Brancato and Palminteri acting, writing and directing chops.

The movie is all great but I really hate when it involves the use of N word and even to the point where the people are ending the lives of colored people?! There is also way too much corruption and violence shown here. 1 star only.
