Good but not Goodfellas

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2019)

Really enjoyed overall but felt a bit disappointed on a couple of aspects of the film.
The effects on De Niro that were used at the beginning of the film although good seemed to be off slightly, the face seemed young but the body's seemed old, however it either got better an hour in or I got just got more accustomed to it as the movie went on.
The second slight negative was that it didn't seem to have the brutality or shock factor as say Goodfellas or Casino did which at times make it uncomfortable to watch but brilliant at the same time.
3 hours 29 minutes seemed more like 2 hours 29 minutes to me so I saw that as a positive as it didn't drag.
Overall a very good film.
