Great performances from Pacino and De Niro

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2020)

There is much to admire in this film, not least the performances of its two leads. The period detail is also superb as is Martin Scorsese's direction and there is a great supporting performance from Joe Pesci. You do feel that you have been transported back to the sixties and seventies. Not quite convinced about the de-ageing technology but the alternative would have required another actor to play the lead character in his early years. Then again that of course worked superbly well in The Godfather part II!
