Disjointed & tedious

Rating: 3/10 (16 February 2015)

I tried staying with this movie for an hour or so but it was so disjointed and tedious I finally gave up on it. I agree with another reviewer that the cinematography is good, but that cannot make up for the fact that the movie jumps all over the place without warning, which adds to the confusion. (At one point we're involved in the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the next we're in 1939.)
I suppose the writer and director knew exactly what they were doing, and perhaps all of the disjointed sections of the story were tied together neatly at the end. If so it would require some serious twine.
IMO a new viewer will find it very difficult to follow the story. DeNiro is fine actor, perhaps he should have stuck with that.
