Watch: Mean Streets 1973 123movies, Full Movie Online – The future is set for Tony and Michael — owning a neighborhood bar and making deals in the mean streets of New York City’s Little Italy. For Charlie, the future is less clearly defined. A small-time hood, he works for his uncle, making collections and reclaiming bad debts. In love with a woman of whom his uncle disapproves (due to her epilepsy) and a friend of her disturbed cousin, Johnny Boy, a near psychotic whose trouble-making threatens them all — Charlie just cannot reconcile opposing values. A failed attempt to escape (to Brooklyn) moves them all a step closer to a bitter, almost preordained future..
Plot: A small-time hood must choose from among love, friendship and the chance to rise within the mob.

A look at life in NY
‘Mean Streets’, the earliest Scorsese film people have heard of, is the result of an on-form film maker, telling a personal story.One thing to immediately note about ‘Mean Streets’ is the performance of our two leads, Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro, both looking young and are full of energy. They deliver the goods, big time. They are both so watchable and make up at least half of the movie’s appeal. In fact, ‘Mean Streets’ is an inherently watchable movie overall, helped by some fine dialogue and Scorsese’s trademark energetic and involving camera-work. The main draw is the antics of the characters and their relationships rather than a high-stakes narrative. Dramatic things happen but don’t relate intrinsically to the central plot: that of De Niro’s character Johnny Boy, his debts to clubs, bars and old pals along with his long-suffering buddy Charlie (Keitel).
In comparison to other Scorsese films (which is inevitably going to happen if this is not your first Scorsese), it is very low on scale and as mentioned before, low on stakes. This is no gangster epic or psychological portrait but simply a 2 hour window into the streets of New York. It is certainly worth watching.

Great actors but a time sucking boring leech. Pass on this if you haven’t seen.
