Close to Perfect

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2020)

Almost every scene of this movie displays a legendary cast and an amazing clothing and art department that accurately recreates the time in which the story takes place. A lot of people on here are complaining about the CGI faces, but it didn't bother me at all. I loved the way that Scorsese directed this film, which shows off some superb cinematography by the way. The only reason this film isn't a masterpiece is because it isn't something we haven't seen before. The story is new but the way it is told isn't innovative. However, this film still deserves a spot among the best gangster flicks in history. Great story, superb directing, but same old style. Trust me, I am not demonstrating a failure to show appreciation, I am just telling it like it is.
