Excellent movie - De Niro? Meh

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2019)

This is truly a Martin Scorcese gem. The story and direction is perfection. But, in my humble opinion, Robert De Niro doesn't do much acting. What he does in this movie is just a toned-down version of some of his other characters. I'm not saying he's not good, but his acting isn't what makes this such a great movie. Also, the length of the movie is necessary to tell the story. Well worth the time.
