Forget about it

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2019)

It's good, but over-hyped with masterpiece being thrown around all over the shop. It'd be interested to see if all the people saying that would say the same if they went in blind without knowing it was a Scorcese flick, though you'd clearly know it was a Scorcese film pretty quickly, the hallmarks are all there. For me though he has made several better movies than this in the past.
The length didn't particularly bother me but I also don't feel like it was necessary to tell the story. It was a bit indulgent.
I like all the performances but the age thing was a real problem for me. De Niro's character being referred to as kid when he already looked about 65 was testing and there was a scene where he beats a shopkeeper up where he moved like an 80 year old which was just plain silly.
Good but not great.
