Scorcese rests on his laurels an he hands us an unimaginative cast, all of whom he has directed before in other iconic films. This trite cast, all of whom have played variations on the same characters on multiple films. The film is further hampered by a frankly excruciating runtime of voer 3 hours, and some poor use of computer graphics, which doesn't add anything to the overrall film only detract from it.

Truthfully speaking, De Niro, Pesci, and to an extent Pacino have all been typecast in the third acts of their careers. Essentialy they are playing variations of the same characters, albeit in different circumstances, that they have played in previous Scorcese or other mobster films.

Despite wasting Adam Driver in Silence, Scorcese needs to find and cast new talent not trot out the same old acts again and again. Boring, safe, and ultimately very disapoinnting.
