Scorsese and DeNiro took the story of Frank Sheeran and tried to force themselves into the film. Sheeran was known as an imposing figure due to his 6'4" frame. He was overly confident, charismatic, and sadistic. DeNiro's version of Sheeran was timid, unsure of himself, and below average size. Despite the CGI to make DeNiro look young, he moved like a guy in his 70s. Frank's vivid blue eyes came across like DeNiro had cataracts. The story line was poorly developed with important events barely mentioned. After reading the book I was extremely excited for this film. I was disappointed throughout the movie.
