Not the proper goodbye

Rating: 5/10 (30 November 2019)

The film in itself is fine. But we've seen it all before. If you move away from the screen and just listen to what's going on, it feels like any other mobster movie these guys made through the years. I never understood the fascination about low life criminals committing every and any possible crime there's a law for to be given a household heroes status. Repeatedly! The idea that 80 year old men can play half their age (or younger) digital selves is laughable at best and ruins any credibility the characters have. One thing though, this movie is worth watching is the absolute magnificent Joe Pesci who blows out of the water Pacino and DeNiro combined. Harvey Keitel, in the short time he's on screen, is better than those, too. Al Pacino is playing himself, the old, tired, loud himself, and De Niro is the usual mess of incoherent blabber and wincing facial expressions. The other good thing about the movie is its subtlety in visuals and character actions. Bottom line: not the proper goodbye for a cast that made cinematographic history.
