Not a great in this genre

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2019)

It's hard not to draw comparisons with other movies when the director himself already made some of the finest in this genre. There are good moments in it but when analysed as a whole I think it's far from great.
When I looked at the cast, my immediate reaction was that, it's like watching the All-Star weekend in NBA. Except it's with hall-of-famer players who are already retired and way beyond their peak so it's just for fun and all the money goes to a charity or something. De Niro looks super awkward throughout the movie due to his body condition and the young make up doesn't help a whole lot. Al Pacino completely overacts in a bunch of scenes that it almost felt distracting. The story and characters felt unbalanced at times. Story points and characters that initially felt important got no screen time or got too much when not needed. I'm not a person who complains about lengths of movies but I have to say that this movie had a good 30-40 mins that was not essential.
Story of a mob hitman who allegedly took part in the disappearance of a truck union president.
