For Scorsese fans only

Rating: 6/10 (31 January 2020)

Although the film is Made well enough I think Scorsese's career has become almost synonymous with gangster pictures. There was a reason why film studios didn't want invest in this movie and that's because they know the public has already seen this stuff multiple times and aren't rushing back to see it again.
Having said that this movie has a lot of the same genius as Marty's other gangster pics as far as acting and cinematography but I really wasn't that engaged until about two hours into the movie. Those first two hours were about as interesting to me as watching a documentary on a subject I didn't care about. Unless you are a fan of gangster history it probably wouldn't be that interesting to the average person. There was really no reason to be sympathetic to any of the characters until the 3rd hour. I would recommend this only to Scorsese fans because the time invested in this movie is barely worth the reward for the average viewer.
