Brilliant Performances, but Drags On.

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2020)

Martin Scorsese's films are movies I like to believe are always good. He truly knows how to make a classic gangster film, and make it entertaining at the same time. Running at three and a half hours, it becomes hard to keep the audience engaged for that long, and for some reason, this movie has a hard time doing that.

Robert de Nero does a great job as always, and Al Pacino brings a great performance. The story was interesting, with a great supporting cast. The score was decent, and as for the acting, it was great! So why was I disappointed?

In the end, the movie drags on for too long in some moments, and can sometimes get boring. How me and my girlfriend managed to finish it, we will never know. I was excited to watch this movie, and even though it was good, it is not Martin Scorsese's best.
