Goodfellas 2 (2025) – Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci
Set decades after the events of the original Goodfellas, this highly anticipated sequel begins with Henry Hill’s (Ray Liotta) narration from beyond the grave, reflecting on the aftermath of his actions. The film introduces Henry’s estranged son, Michael Hill (played by a young breakout actor), who has spent his life running from his family’s shadow. But when Michael discovers a hidden ledger detailing untold secrets about the mob’s operations, he’s drawn back into the underworld.
Robert De Niro returns as Jimmy Conway, who is now an elderly man living in witness protection. Despite his age, Jimmy’s sharp instincts remain intact, and he becomes Michael’s reluctant mentor as the young Hill seeks answers about his father’s past. Joe Pesci reprises his role as Tommy DeVito—seen in haunting flashbacks that reveal his deeper connection to the Hill family.
As Michael delves deeper, he uncovers a shocking truth: Henry’s betrayal of the mob went far deeper than anyone knew, implicating high-ranking figures still alive. This puts Michael in the crosshairs of Frank Marino (played by an intense new villain), a vengeful mob boss who wants to bury the Hill family’s legacy for good.
The climax sees Michael facing impossible choices, mirroring his father’s moral conflicts. The film ends with a chilling twist: Michael decides to embrace his father’s path, taking over as a new player in the mob—a decision that ties his fate to the same cycle of violence Henry tried to escape.
The sequel stays true to its roots while offering a fresh generational perspective.
