What's the hype behind this movie? It's just a boring, dull story about another gangster. So far so I fell asleep and my spouse got extremely bored watching it. Slow and definitely not keeping the attention of the audience. We like gangster movies but this one failed miserably. Although the actors did an ok job it was also not really amazing either. Why does Robert De Niro play himself both young and old. It doesn't portray well. He could have stuck with the old and someone else should have acted the young. For the sake of the good actors this movie gets 5 from us. If this movie gets any awards, it would be because of the support behind Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. ( definitely not because of the movie) plus these guys are good actors yes but they can only act similar roles/characters. A super perfect actor is the one who can act / portray various different characters. So in that sense Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are always the same mafia guys... it doesn't add on anything to the movie industry.
