The Dire-ish Man

Rating: 1/10 (7 December 2019)

Slooooow, gloomy, melancholy, been-there-done-that, blandly and tediously played out, with all the requisite blood spatter, and by all the usual suspects. A director's cut release that begs a re-editing, Scorsese has met his waterloo. With Pacino mis-cast, and DiNiro's facial cgi and blue eyes a huge distraction, Pesci conjured up the most with what he was given. Thanks to Netflix we thankfully saved the price of theater admission, but whether seen at home or the theater, a dismal waste of 3 and a third entertainment hours.
P.S. #1 Where was the technical adviser on the glaringly obvious 'here, it's the timing chain' goof? P.S. #2 Enjoyed the period look of all the film's locales, but while the period background vehicles were mostly correct, their always shiny, showroom condition spotlessness were not.
