Mean Streets (1973)

.
"You don't make up for your sins in church. You do it in the streets."

Charlie (Harvey Keitel) is just a little guy in the mob world of NYC's Little Italy. He collects protection money for his uncle Giovanni (Cesare Danova). He's not on his uncle's favorite list because Charlie's girlfriend (Amy Robinson) is epileptic. Charlie's friend Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro), who is also his girlfriend's cousin, is a loner, a loose cannon who needs Charlie's protection on the mean streets.

Also in the cast are Robert Carradine and David Carradine.

Written and directed by Martin Scorcese.

Run time: 1 hour, 52 minutes

Rated R.

My presonal rating: B-
