A very watchable, just another tough guy movie.

Rating: 7/10 (29 November 2019)

An entertaining film to watch if a "bit" on the uneconomical side.
Maybe the last time we will get to see these actors together in a film and so that alone had some value for me.
Pesci's performance was my favorite (though good supporting character acting all the way around) as he was appropriately understated, especially for him.
Bob did his standard slightly reserved/diplomatic tough guy acting, which was probably appropriate for this character, in the situations he was in and based on Sheeran's character in the book.
Al's portrayal of Hoffa didn't work for me, as the over-the-top bit (which I know Hoffa did quite a bit of) reminded me too much of Al's other roles. The Hoffa haircut seemed a bit weird on him, on the nitpick side. It's hard to believe that Hoffa was that cocky with the mob but supposedly, he at least came close to what we see here.
The visual style disappointed me as I've come to expect to be able to feast on that in just about any Scorsese film. The scenes were well composed but nothing outstanding and I expect he toned down his usual flair so as to not interfere with the acting/stars or the story.
Overall, the film did a very good job of telling the tale of the book and was also effective in showing how mundane all of the mob activities and "shtick" could be.
In the end though, it's just another tough guy movie with lots of stars. That I enjoyed watching ....
