With these older actors remember they've done so many films over so many years you're gonna learn their schtick like you won't with younger actors with t n or so years. I thought you were too critical

That said I'm feeling like it's one of my first Scorsese films that gets a B or B+.

Knowing the outcome played a big role in that. Pacino was fine. Everyone was very good.

I'll have to see how I feel about in in a few years.

At 60 I'm facing my acting hero's getting quite old and a news story I lived through as a teen. I found these things cathartic in a way.

Did youwatch the 40 odd minute vid about the making of with the big three and Scorsese? Making the big three look both older AND younger was done by Lucas CGI not make up. It was totally worth watching.

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)
