Could have been an hour shorter

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2020)

Al Pacino and Robert Dinero do their mobster thing like they always do. This is like a love letter to all the mob movies they have made over the years. Joe Pesci is a revelation. He isn't the loud, squeaky, over-the-top guy from his previous roles. He is understated but still strong in his performance. Who knew he had this kind of range. Maybe he just needed a few decades to get here. The CGI for age changes is very cool but a little creepy at times. It feels like you're watching a high-end video game. It looks very real but there is just something a little off. There is at least an hour spent re-running the same essential story line. Not necessary. Just makes the movie drag on. I like the ending. I liked the little Easter eggs throughout. A good movie that I'm glad I watched at home when I could take breaks.
