First off the beginning of this movie has a glaring error any eastern pa native would catch. The map Sheeran is using is modern. There was no route 476, or I80, or n.e. extension of the pa turnpike in the 50s. There are other errors as well but the acting in this movie is so off the charts fabulous, we can let scorcese slide. As kids we all knew of uncle russell. He used to give my brother silver dollars. He lived among us in kingston, pa and his home is still there. His family still practices law there and are fine reputable people. I'm told by neighbors they remember black limos on the street on sundays. Former lady garment union workers (ilgwu) told of how bufalinos guys would force the pretty among them into prostitution. Anyway, go see this movie. It's no doubt the scorcese swan song and certainly the last time you will see such a stellar cast together. How the oscar voters will pick is certainly a question!
