A sad swansong for 3 guys who were legends

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2019)

Some parts of this movie were quite brilliant but unfortunately it was ridiculously drawn out with some mind numbingly dull parts that were hard to watch in their dullness.
Basically as a film it was far too long and would have worked better as a 3 part mini-series.
Nothing against long films if they keep the audience on their side like Once Upon A Time In America did brilliantly over 4 hours in 1984. A movie I've watched a dozen times. This will be one I won't repeat that experience of even twice.
The writing and acting was not up to the usual Scorsese standard and the old geezers Pesci, Pacino and De Nero looked like they were just there for the pay check in some parts.
The de-ageing scenes were in one way great to see but in another very sad as these guys are in their 70s and the 30 year old segments reflected that in the way they moved. One fight scene highlighted this as a 70 odd year old bloke playing a 30 odd year old in a fight looked pretty silly.
Overall it wasn't bad and told a good story in a decent way. The veracity of the story we will never know and 3 and a half hours telling that story probably made the viewer not really care as they were exhausted. Hopefully all the old guys will now retire for good as they don't do their Legacy any favours with a film like this.
