Amazing acting, great story lines and some twists. Loved how the story was told through the eyes of De Niro's character as he was at the end of his life.
For anyone that likes gangster movies, it is worth a watch - high quality actors from across the great gangster films. The only negative is that it lasts 3.5 hours. This would put me off watching it again soon, but definitely worth seeing for the first time.
Kept me glued throughout - defo give it a watch. You won't be disappointed.

Really really good
Review the Movie, not the Director
Peoples are losing their minds over the sainted director, forgetting the movie. Sure, it's well made, fascinating history. But it's second nature for De Niro, and Pacino overreaches at times. The third reel is repetitive over the decline of the De Niro character. Would be a better movie at 2hr 30. In fact, I thought it had ended about then, but it meandered on another hour.
A special movie
This is a masterful and almost flawless film that is only for the western audience and western literature in general. The film's narrative logic is not even close to Eastern literature and art, and the Eastern audience is not at all receptive to such humor in the narration of the story. Vise versa. Contrary to what you see in the enlargement and advertisements of the movie, especially in a political thriller.
