This movie should've been 2 hours, tops. The performances were decent. Some scenes were good. None of it was great. I've seen lots of mobster flicks and typically find the format to be very boring, so you really have to love mobster movies to enjoy this one. Also, this is nowhere near his finest work. I don't understand the hype. The one impressive thing about this movie was the digital effects in making the actors appear younger and the makeup to make them look older. Digital effects have come a long way!
