It’s clear that the enduring power of the mob movie still has its fingerprints on film and TV today if you look carefully, and the outpouring of love and grief for Caan, Liotta, Sirico and Sorvino has shown that while the old era might be as good as buried, the appetite for a new one is still strong. Take Joaquin Phoenix’s brooding, eccentric turn in Lynne Ramsay’s masterful hitman film You Were Never Really Here, where part of the film’s intrigue is how it focuses on the cycles of violence within one man rather than a broader crime infrastructure. While the classic mobster flick doesn’t have the same hold on cinema it once did, you can still see traces of it in cinema today if you look carefully. This year will see the release of a trio of awaited detective dramas in See How They Run, Amsterdam and Knives Out 2, suggesting we could be in the midst of a new golden age for crime flicks. While Kenneth Brannagh’s Poirot franchise has been underwhelming, Rian Johnson’s excellent Agatha Christie nod in 2019 film Knives Out shows that it’s possible to take the farcical elements of a genre and spin it into something fresh. The whodunit was another genre that seemed on its last legs until the string of starry reimaginings that have come in recent years.

His silent, bury-you-alive glare would stop anyone selling him down the river.

Think of Paul Sorvino, as Paulie in Goodfellas, when his lackey Henry (Liotta) takes the witness stand against him. And each, with a downturned grin or a cutting sideways look, could strike fear into the hearts of the bravest amongst us. Each either participated in or witnessed the behaviour of the types of people they would later play, not so much via the Method school as the school of hard knocks. Yes, some of them went to college, or studied acting in some respect, but crucially, none were from cosy backgrounds.

Liotta grew up working part-time for his dad’s auto supply shop Caan driving a meat delivery truck Sirico described his neighbourhood as a place where “you either had to have a tattoo or a bullet hole” to prove yourself. Each came from the ethnic American enclaves (Italian, Jewish, and Irish) of the tri-state area: Liotta was from New Jersey, Caan from the Bronx, and both Sirico and Sorvino came from the same neighbourhood in Brooklyn. While these men had singular styles and paths to Hollywood, they still had a startling amount in common, even beyond their tough guy personas.
