I Can't Give It 11 Stars?!?

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2019)

Pesci, DeNiro, and Pacino...in a Scorsese film?!? That's all I needed to see to get excited about this film and it delivered on multiple levels. Engaging and historical without becoming mundane. This is classic Scorsese and frankly (pardon the pun), one of his very best. I loved every moment. DeNiro is still at the top of his game... raw and real. Pacino hasn't been this over the top since Scent of a Woman... truly a master at work as Hoffa and the real take away from it all is that Pesci may have "retired" from acting but you'd never know it. His intensity is legendary and absolutely remarkable. Scorsese is and always has been my favorite director and this film reaffirms that feeling in every way. I won't spoil anything... any even remotely savvy history buff already knows. One hell of a movie!
A masterclass has been delivered by the best of the best. Period.
