‘As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a gangster.’ Henry Hill had always been a part of the criminal life of New York, finally achieving the coveted status of ‘wiseguy’. But in 1980 he made the decision to exchange his knowledge for a new identity.Hill’s story of crude hierarchies, casual murders and collaboration with the police was adapted by Marin Scorsese and became one of the most outstanding films of 1990.
