Kevin Maher

Freeze frames, casual violence and conversation are there in service of a story about two apprentice hoodlums...

The violence is frequent and inconsistent, just like the plot direction, but there are decent performances within the film. Scorsese had a decent start to his career, this being his third film, and he only continued to develop his work for the better.

Martin Scorsese made two feature films before this one but Mean Streets would really be the one that placed him on the map.

For all its raw, exhilarating energy, it’s a film that can always break your heart.

The film comes up a little short when it comes to its screenplay, which doesn't provide quite enough development for these storylines or characters, ultimately making this early work of the master filmmaker one of his more forgettable efforts.
