Absolutely Masterful

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2019)

I can barely believe these men are not actually Frank Jimmy and Russ. Never once for a microsecond do they step ourside their characters into their own skins, the humility and measured control of de Niro's performance is utterly awe inspiring. Pacino, what can I say, no words and the steady rudder throughout commanding and powerful Joe Pesci's character Russ. Great supports (Jesse Plemens underused again but a minor quibble). Better be plenty of Oscars here, I wasn't that interested in Jimmy Hoffa but wasn't bored for a second and that is totally down to the performances and Scorese' s wonderful eye and pacing every detail perfect. Masterpiece.
