An Epic Too Long

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2019)

You can't go wrong when Pesci, De Niro and Pacino in a film together, unless you make the film too long. The run time could have easily been trimmed by 20 minutes or more in my opinion. Some scenes seemed to drag on for no apparent reason, especially after Hoffa's "disappearance." Joe Pesci was absolutely outstanding in his role as Russel Bufalino, and Al Pacino was equally dynamic as Jimmy Hoffa. De Niro was less so as Frank Sheeran, but that could be just the nature of the character. It was a good film, but not one I will watch again.
