Good Story, but not Great

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2019)

Finally saw it, and I had a lot of expectations after all the hype and the 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And my verdict is that while it is a good movie, it is not necessarily a great one, definitely not something I would watch over Avengers: End Game, for example.
For one it is a bit too long, at three and a half hours it is like watching two movies already. The storytelling is a bit disjointed at times, they put out something onscreen and expect everybody to automatically understand what they're looking at.
The pacing is a bit slow, especially on the first half of the movie. It gets consistently interesting only after Jimmy Hoffa's disagreements with the Mafia got worst and worst.
Overall the movie had a good story to tell, but at the same time I am getting sick and tired of seeing these CRIMINALS being portrayed as "somewhat decent" people instead of the animals that they really are.
