Past their prime, a waste of your time

Rating: 4/10 (3 December 2019)

Mob movies have more bad than good ones, and this is not one of them. A 75 year old actor playing a 30-40 version of themselves is just not believeable. That's what ruined it for me. I seriously thought that the plot in the story had potential, Though at times it was dragging on and didn't seem like it was going anywhere. I seriously don't understand why couldn't they find younger actors to play the younger versions of Hoffa and Sheeran. You're telling me that there's not a single young 30 40 something year old actor that resembles De Niro or a young Pacino? That's why at times I couldn't take this movie seriously. it would have been fine if DeNiro and Pacino were playing the old versions of themselves, because they're old, mixed with younger more agile actors. come on really the scene with DeNiro when he beats up the grocery store guy and the sound doesn't even match up!?? Walking like an old man with his back hunched.
I watched this movie for pesci and I think he did a good job in here. it is a major different character from his younger Wilder mob movies where he is crazy, where now he's quiet and reserved.
Camera had choppy movement, stunts were unbelievable ridiculous, editing sub-par, soundtrack is forgettable expect for the credits song. could have shaved at least a half hour off this film, and probably could have done without the father daughter tensions, not done well at all.
All the reviews that given more than a 7 are pretty fake and biased probably from a bunch of yuppy millennials who don't know what a real not movie should look like, IE casino, my favorite in particular.
I wanted this movie to be good but in many ways they messed it up. I'm not saying it's terrible it just has too many unbelievable and boring aspects to make it a good film. Scorsese and his trio of Italian-American actors have come and gone. I mean, there's a reason it's on Netflix and not in theaters. I would say watch it if you like my movies and have free time on Sunday because it is three and a half hours long.
