Great movie prospect but outdated actors

Rating: 7/10 (29 November 2019)

Please don't get me wrong because I love films like Casino Good Fellas & Scarface. I love Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, Ray Liotta & Al Pacino but they have had their day! This film, if made in the 80's, 90's would have been an absolute classic and, to be fair, still is to a certain extent. The issue I have with this film is, quite simply put, the actors are past their best. It is excruciatingly obvious from the opening scene that Robert DeNiro cannot even walk like a tough guy anymore, let alone portray a genuine gangster! And neither can the others for that matter. This would have been an awesome movie in their day and I would have moved heaven & earth to see it then. Their is absolutely a gap in the market for this type of movie these days but to fill it with the 'used to be's' was the wrong call. With all of this said, god forbid my movie idols should read this, I feel I owe an apology to the absolute legends of their day. Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, and Joe Pesci, I apologise but you of all must understand that a gangster film requires believable gangsters.
