I hear you paint houses

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2019)

Yes it's long, but just to see these brilliant actors and director working together for what will most likely be the last time makes it worth it.
Without a doubt De Niro best performance of the decade. He well and truly relishes under the freedom Scorsese gives him.
Joe Pesci is everything you want and think of when you watch a film about the "mafia". His characters is perfectly quiet but intimidating, and I just wish the film focused on the relationship between his and De Niro's character a bit more.
Al Pacino brings energy and charisma, reminding me a lot of his character he played in Glengarry Glen Ross.
Scorsese, well it still works. A film truly built on trust and the consequences of ones trust.
I hate to say it but by no means can this be compared to the likes of The Godfather, Casino, and Goodfellas. It had all the potential to be a classic mafia film, the acting is brilliant but unfortunately it's lacking that gripping nature I was hoping for.
