If I watch "Raging Bull" , "Goodfellas", "Casino", "Shutter Island", 'The Departed", "Mean Streets", "Wolf of Wall Street" and "Taxi Driver" and even the Biopic "The Aviator" I'm giving him an 8-10. Then everyone is entitled to put out garbage like "Gangs of NY" and Other painfully bad films like the the one with Jerry Lewis, and other bad ones out of Marty's element perhaps he doesn't want to become the crime/gangster Director so I can forgive the errors of judgement. But to go into your own genre and put out a flat story about Jimmy Hoffa and throw in Sporadic real event subtitles that have little to do with the story...I guess there's a reason nobody heard of the book and the movie was made after the "Teamster Hitman's" demise. This was just garbage redeemed by DeNiro's care for Hoffa which comes across very strongly and his efforts working both ends to avoid "The Hit" this was like a boring possible truth or part truth; boring drawn out history lesson. If Marvel can make Michael Douglas look 30 why can't Marty? Ten Fingers down for building my expectations but objectively if a no name made this film with no name actors that were good this movie would attain zero praise.
