    I have lost all respect for DiNero after seeing his crying and whining about Trump.

    The guy is just another out of touch celebrity that thinks Hollywood controls the opinions of regular people.

        It was good but not great. I don’t get people calling it shit it definitely isn’t maybe a let down based on the reviews

          Fantastic rugs for all those old timers. JJ Gold should contact the Hollywood hair stylist who made the cuts/hair look believable.

There is no way to turn a great novel into a great 1-1/2 to 3 hour movie. The Godfather came close, but it took two 3 hour movies.
              Disagree

              Bram Stoker's Dracula with Gary Oldman was better than the book.

                This movie grows on you

                It's slow moving, and it takes awhile to get used to all the makeup to make them look younger. Some great scenes though, and the last part of the movie after Hoffa dies is some of the most deep, heart wrenching stuff I've ever seen.

                  Agreed

                  The only reason I watched is because I already have Netflix

But, it is interesting how these guys aged, I mean actually aged in real life, because they fit the parts better.
                      We have the usual suspects playing all the gangsters. It is the only time you get to see, and naturally I can't think of his name now, but it is the only type movies he does any more. He has a daughter that is also a movie star. Italian guy (naturally)

                      watched it on netflix for free. Of you like reading about the mob... the best book i ever read was an autobiagraphy about sam giancana that was written by his grandson with same name i think.
                      Best book i ever read was "the frontiersman" it was made into a series is 2018. But it talks about simon kenton,daniel boone tecumseh and others in tri state of ky,ohio and indiana

                            It's almost like you try to look challenged on purpose.

                              Veggie, seriously did you read Dracula and see the movie with Gary Oldman as Dracula and think the book was better?

                              Of course the book is a literary classic but that movie was excellent.

                                actually, this guy is a total fraud who didn't kill hoffa, and is totally full of shit.....

                                here's the actual gunman, a connected mob guy from jersey, street name "Sally Bugs":

                                  Word on the street is you can watch it for free on Netflix. My girl is about to go to work so I'm about to pop two xan's and see how long I can stay up watching this movie.

                                    I wanted to love this movie. I really did. It was like watching sub par version of Goodfellas which is one of the best movies ever made. Di Nero narrating like Ray Liotta did, similar night club scenes and many more including time flash backs etc which weren't all that believable. They tried with make up and did a decent job but age won out. Mind you, the 3 main guys seem to be in good shape for their age. They should have used different actors for the earlier days as they did in Goodfellas.

                                    It was ok at best.

                                    my professional rating: 5.7 out of 10.

                                      I watched it for the 2nd time last night.

                                      It’s better the 2nd time around. The scenes with Pacino and Russell and Pacino and Tony Pro are amazing.

                                            Movie was ok. It was an hour too long. Story was ok. Pesci was a bright spot, and will win Best Supporting Actor - he was perfect, understated, no "funny how? like a clown?" scenes..... just a solid acting job. Lots of good cameos, but the de-aging process was pretty awful.
