Like Goodfellas, only bad

Rating: 4/10 (27 December 2019)

Whoever is saying this movie is fantastic has either not seen Goodfellas, has forgotten how good Goodfellas is, or has never seen a Martin Scorsese film which basically is an identical version of this. I sat through it in three sessions watching it on Netflix. Perhaps it would have been different seeing the entire 3 1/2 hours on a big screen. But I doubt it. I thought the acting was simply the SSDD, snarling, violent caricatures that we have come to expect from the likes of Robert De Niro et al. Just watch Goodfellas again and you will be happier.
