An Ok Martin Scorsese film.

Rating: 5/10 (2 December 2019)

First of all, the de-aging technology in this film is very very distracting and one of the reasons I was put off by it. A video on YouTube improved the de-aging dramatically using free software, also when they're walking or shooting a gun or doing stuff you can see their old bodies and tell they're about 70 years old. Peggy was the worst character in the film, no one ever wronged her and her dad gave her everything since she was a kid and never hit or abused her, protected them and made choices for her and his family, she just had this same stupid look from a kid to a grown up, ungrateful and annoying. Joe Pesci's acting isn't as great and intense as films like Goodfellas, De Niro was De Niro, Al Pacino was great in it, best character in the film for me. The film is a bit long and the story isn't very original nor that interesting. Writing is great for most of it, but there are so many dialogue scenes and so little action scenes, it's not a negative, but the tension and action could've been better. The scene at the end where he's sitting all alone at Christmas is really sad. All in all, it's an ok film, not great, definitely not Martin Scorsese's finest work.
