GoodFellas 2.0, but with old Italian guys trying to play much younger Irish guys

Rating: 7/10 (2 December 2019)

Pesci and Pacino did well in their roles, although Pacino does not pass well as an Irish-German American. De Niro was wrong for the title role, he looked strained most of the time, and they failed to get enough makeup on him to look younger than a veteran Social Security/Medicare recipient. Scorsese blew a great film and story by putting his buddy in the title role. It was okay, but not remotely close to Good Fellas, and the story does not warrant a tediously long tell.
