This is NOT a Masterpiece

Rating: 3/10 (7 October 2019)

Seriously, critics? This movie borrows so much from Scorsese's previous gangster pics, that it feels derivative and boring. Pesci is the only actor that shines, giving more nuance to his role. De Niro and Pacino play another version of their usual characters. I would have liked it more as a limited series, but as a three-and-a-half hour film with no intermission, it drags. At least the last thirty minutes are really poignant. That and Pesci save it from being a miscalculated disaster in my book.
