I may be old, but I am not as old as this film! This old Scorsese is available on Netflix.
“Mean Streets” has a very young Harvey Keitel, Robert de Niro and other actors that made name later.
The story seems to play at the lowest layer of New York mafia. The youngsters are set to collect money from restaurants, rough up some people here and there, selling drugs and -of course- trying to work themselves up the ladder.
The result is an amusing crime film, not about mafia big shots as you see most often, but the lives like those of most people who grew up in these surroundings.
