Nothing beyond these 3 in the genre..

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2019)

When you watch a 3.5hr movie in 2019 and they just fly past and you don't even realise, that says it all.
Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci are genre defining actors who once again hit the home run. All three of em' gave on of the best performances of their career. De Niro was the engine that kept the movie running. Joe Pesci as Russel said so much without saying much. The 'less is more' blended perfectly.
But its Al Pacino that brought the shine to the movie in his own way. A stand-up 'say it to your face' kinda guy trying to do what he can in the era of gangsters all around as Jimmy Hoffa. He had that pull that makes you want to root for the guy and hope it all works out for him in the end even though the film synopsis clearly mentioned he got slayed if you are not familier with the Jimmy Hoffa name.
All in all it was a work of art, with all three legends complimenting each other and Martin Scorsese makin them gel into the movie. 10/10
