Might be Pescis most impressive performance

I'm making time to watch this at the weekend as It's over 3 hours long, looking forward to it.

Watched it last night.
It was great. I was sorry not to see Ray Liotta in it and the de-aging was a wee bit distracting at times but not much else to complain about.
The only thing that ruined it a bit for me was Rangers.
Vvanks.

Half way through it.

So far I've enjoyed it. The de-ageing almost works, but it's apparent it's 40/50 year old faces on old men's bodies. Especially during any fight/action type scenes 😂

Thought Al Pacino has been the best thing about it so far, his rant in his office at all the teamsters is one of the best "I'm so angry I don't know how to convey it" scenes I've ever seen.

Really enjoyed it. Pacino was excellent, though all put in a stellar performance

Only disappointment, not enough from Harvey Keitel

Pacino was awful.

Really enjoyed it, although it maybe dragged a wee bit towards the end. "Pacino the weak link" ... really?!! I thought he was the best performance in it, closely followed by Pesci. Love pretty much anything in that genre though. Not as good as Goodfellas, but very good nonetheless.

Watched it after the game last night, very good, didn't think anyone's acting let the film down, the de-ageing only jarred me for about 5 minutes.

Spoiler!!

Only scene I though was bad was when DeNiro beat up the shop keeper, I know he's an old man now but he looked so stiff and looked like a 3 year would pack more punch, should have been cut or shot differently.

I think Martin Scorsese is on JA, so expect a backlash comment.

The scene of De Niro beating up that shop keeper was the only time he was obviously a 76 year old man playing 40

Other than that he did well

One of the best actors around, i'll watch anything he's in.

It was his inclusion that finally got me round to watching Line of duty.

That prison scene with Al Pacino over the pension was the first point I felt like I was watching a Scorsese film

I know hes had a ton of work done and was wearing loads of make up but Pacino looks and sounds a completely different person to the actor in the Godfather films
