"GoodFellas" is just one of the movies that did this all much better before.

Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post
Rotten

Packing the screen with wiseguy-story regulars - like Vincent Pastore and a limp Tony Darrow, perhaps distracted by his recent legal difficulties - is fruitless when your movie is as pathetically inept as this one.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten

Cathy Moriarty and other Scorsese alums pop up, but these mean streets feel too derivative to thrill.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Rotten

Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn's vision of the Mafia comes filtered through a needlessly complex screenplay, as if the creators felt the need to prove they've seen a few Arnaud Desplechin films alongside Goodfellas.

Steve Erickson, Village Voice
