Should be called "Goodfellas in Depends Diapers"

Rating: 1/10 (15 December 2019)

Very very very long film. Horribly depressing story of a labor racketeer/hitman for the mob with ties to Jimmy Hoffa, (if anyone actually remembers Hoffa) who is telling his story from present day in an assisted living facility where he is wheelchair bound. There are no likable main or even secondary characters in the entire film. All of the old mafia movie standard actors are recycled in this film hopefully for one last time - Pacino, DeNiro, Kietel, and many more and are far far too old to have been in this regardless of the makeup, girdles and hair color. Should have had much younger actors portray these geezers in the first part of the movie which is set in the 1950's and 1960's. Even in the beginning of the film where the DeNiro (noticeably overweight) character is supposed to be about 40, you can see that he has trouble walking normally since he is really in his 70's. The actresses playing their wives are far too young for these geriatric actors. Their daughters could easily be their grand daughters. It is a dull film that relies on the many of the techniques that were successful in Goodfellas and Casino but does not work well in this. Too many dumb scenes of Pacino (Hoffa) shoveling ice cream into his mouth and complaining about his cronies coming 15 minutes late to a meeting. Explains why it went to Netflix so fast.
