Overrated

Rating: 3/10 (20 February 2019)

Not horrible, but certainly overrated. The acting was over the top. Like caricatures.
They didn't need the love story. Totally unnecessary and slowed down the movie and they could have cut 45 minutes and made it better. Not every movie needs a love story.
Their behavior was dead giveaway. I mean, seriously, when Leonardo was supposed to pretend he wasn't bother but his face said the total opposite. I hate when actors are supposed to make other characters believe them but they play the opposite, with guilty faces.
And maybe it's just me but the editing was way too jarring and sometimes I don't mind too much in Scorsese's movies, but this one was just too obvious.
You don't have to be a genius to figure out some of these people are playing both sides. Unless the cops and crooks are so dumb here, which they wouldn't be in real life. How did they not figure out it was Leonardo sooner? The fact they wanted to bring him in at first was not believable. It was like everyone knew each other but they were all so dumb they couldn't figure out what each other did.
They KNEW Leonardo was a cop before they took him in. They knew there was an informant, but they were too dumb to suspect him, but rather others who have been with them for decades. Really? This was like dumb and dumber cops.
Cops see all the gangsters go in the building but they don't follow. It was ridiculous. They are looking for rats and everyone seem to act so suspiciously. Matt Damon is just a bad actor. Leonardo acted suspiciously the whole time. It was one blunder after the other. Irish guy who got shot KNEW it was Leonardo and yet he didn't tell anyone, except Leonardo.
It was painful to watch. Nothing made any sense.
