This movie is Scorsese at his formulaic best. The initial long shot with the accompanying soundtrack and characters who are given time and scope to develop. The initial shock of the characters being CGI'd into their prime is initially shocking and a little unconvincing, but becomes acceptable fairly quickly. However there is no disguising that these are now old men and the stiff-hipped De Niro is simply unconvincing, especially when beating up a grocer who has mistreated his daughter. It is probably a scene where a body double could be justified.

The acting from all is, as can be expected, very good, however Joe Pesci is stellar and steals every scene. The look that he gives when a guy has to "go" is chilling. Pacino is also worthy of note and turns in an excellent performance. He has backed off from his "shouty phase" and it works.

All in all, it is a very good movie and well worth a watch.

I'm sure that with further viewings much more will surface.

It is a truly terrible movie and all the better for it.

It knows that it is bad and revels in it.

The Trump Schtick was bad. The acting was "purposefully" bad. Piff the dragon was the star. Angus McFadyen using different accents - sometimes within the same speech - was inspired and the part that was most enjoyable.

It's a knockabout film, made to a budget.

It's better than sticking pins in your eyes.

Utterly and truly awful. More ham than a pork butchers. From the casting to the dialogue, costumes, direction and acting it is a wonder that one of these actors didn't mention that it was bloody abysmal. It started slowly and finally ground to a halt. If you are considering watching this, take some advice and have a better time by sticking pins in your eyes.
