Sad swan song

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2019)

Robert De Niro is a one trick pony who somehow managed to fool the world he's a class actor. All he does is some weird grimaces associated with severe case of constipation. Al Pacino plays himself, and in a bad way. Again. Those two have starred in more bad movies than all the bad movies combined. The script is a mix of Casino, Good Fellas, Donnie Brasco and Godfather i.e. it's all been seen already 30 years ago. Ridiculous Italian immigrant/New York dialects and lifestyle that raises questions about the amusement this kind of walk of society brings into people. Long and numb. Horrible, horrible, horrible de-aging effects. De Niro looks pathetic in his 40 year old face and a 70 year old body. The only positive is that magnificent Joe Pesci who gives the best performance of his life and proves to be in a different league from the rest of the old farts. Perhaps a sole reason to see the movie.
