Show Some Respect...Just See It, You'll Be Glad You Did!

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2019)

This is a movie you should see. Martin Scorcese has taken a forgotten story and made it vital, even gripping. It is with some surprise that at this late date Scorcese knocks it out of the park with a three and a half hour old mob story. Oh yes he does. It is with no small reason due to the late period acting turns of all three principals: Di Niro, Pacino, and Pesci. Nothing these three have done in recent memory matches their best, but this may eclipse that. The three are perfect and obviously invested completely. Did the real characters play their roles so well?
Scorcese is a master. Like Welles and Hitchcock...but he's still with us and if this is any evidence he is at the top of his game. See it and try to deny this is almost certainly the Hoffa saga decoded.
