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.

The decades have been kind to A Bronx Tale; years later, this is a movie that has only gotten better with age.

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.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
