WORTH THE NETFLIX SUBSCRIPTION ON ITS OWN

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2019)

Only one thing which prevented me from awarding this masterpiece a PERFECT 10 was Al Pacino tending to lapse into the role of AL PACINO instead of JIMMY HOFFA and a slightly over sympathetic portrayal of the infamous Union boss . Apart from that , it was an absolute joy to witness the return of these legends of the silver screen to one of their most notable genres ......THE GANGSTER MOVIE . It shows us what we have been missing this last 20 or more years . Just wish Maestro Scorsese could have squeezed in a few more of the great actors from the heyday of the genre but that may have required a other hour or so onto this already epic tale based on relatively recent history . Dare we ask for more ....... James Woods , Steve Buscemi et al
