It was good, but I wish I liked it way more than I did

I don't even have much to say really. It was..long! Sometimes a little hard to follow (lots of names). It didn't feel super cohesive to me in a way I guess? I dunno why
I wish it was more traditional Scorcese. Gimme some GIMME SHELTER! Gimme some MOB HIT MONTAGES!
Kinda wish it wasn't based on a true story so he could've just done whatever he wanted with it. Prominent characters just fell into the background and someone would say oh that guy yea he's dead now
Favorite part was "Well liked by everyone - died of natural causes". That cracked me up
Three leads were better than they've been in many years as expected but I wanted MOOOORE. Gimme some powerhouse moments from De Niro or Pacino or Pesci, I've had ENOUGH of the quiet reflective work here!! At least make the subtle performances even somewhat emotional. Pacino did more with just his eyes in that great 15 second moment at the end of Heat than he did throughout this whole movie :(
I dunno, I'm left a lil disappointed obviously. I'm sure I'd like it more on rewatch but I know I won't be tackling that 3.5 hours again any year soon
Still a 7/10 but still sits towards the bottom of my Scorcese list |
