Pesci WAS brilliant, Pacino was Pacino (brilliant), DeNiro rose to the occasion
as well as can be expected at this (the past 25 years) point in time, for him.

FANTASTIC supporting cast and characters i n a very interesting (and...humanistic) story well told.

VERY relaxed pacing, NICELY put together.

I figured Scorsese might blow it given the time and money spent, but think he pulled it off quite well.

Let's face it -these guys WON'T be doing this again, so this might be their collective gangster swan
song.

I found it worthy even beyond that aspect and will watch it again at least once.

Not as mediocre as everyone says, but I stayed awake throughout. Maybe low expectations. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 17:59:15 12/22/19 (0)

I thought the 'younger' DeNiro's eyes looked odd, too blue and almost glowing. I was disappointed in the CGI - PhilJ 15:02:50 11/30/19 (3)
