In all this, we’ve collectively overlooked one of the most exciting aspects of the movie: the Joe Pesci of it all. Because Joe Pesci is back, baby! But truth is, Joe Pesci is literally having a comeback. Funny how, like a clown” speech so powerful in “Goodfellas” and his lawyer such a hilarious fish-out-of-water in “My Cousin Vinny.”ADSoon, though, every time any second-rate director needed a “Joe Pesci-type,” they simply typecast Joe Pesci. Pesci gives a phenomenal performance as Russell Bufalino, a mobster who takes hit man Frank Sheeran (De Niro) under his wing.
