Scorcese Prime Time Players

Rating: 8/10 (8 December 2019)

Put aside whether the Frank Sheeran story is totally true or not this is a good 3 hour viewing in the Scorsese style. DeNiro does his standard heavy grimace, but similar to his "Meet the Fockers" role but with real edge, whereas Pacino chews up the screen with one of his characterizations, in the same vein as his recent portrayals of real life personalities Joe Paterno, Phil Spector, Jack Kevorkian. Very entertaining to watch. Joe Pesci was maybe a little too old but hey I get why he was signed on. Nice use of the daughter Peggy character as an observer watching her Dad.
