It was the most long-drawn out movie about nothing I've seen in a long time. Which sucks, because I really wanted to like it.

Casino? Incredible. Gangs of New York? Magnum opus. The Departed? Semi-modern classic. Shutter Island? At least entertaining.

This was just not good. Idk if it was trying to make Robert De Niro pass as like a 20-year old or what, but some stuff was painful to watch considering he's taking roles as the "old guy" during the production of this movie.

The pacing was all wrong. There was no definitive climax. The blocking and choreography was absolutely terrible. Scorsese tried to go for single-shot action sequences, but these guys are so old it just didn't work. Maybe 20 years ago they could've given that kind of performance, but it was like I was watching someone make a joke of Stunts with very obvious sugar-glass and cheap hits.

It was 3 hours of nothing that I will never get back. I can't for the life of me figure out how Scorsese won awards for this trash fire.
