I tried to like it. I really did but it was toooo much like Casino and Goodfellas and The Godfather and Once Upon A Time In America and, and, and ....... you get the idea. It was soooo slow too. I kept waiting for the hook but it never came.

Aside from the above what was really distracting was the casting. Great actors. A veritable smorgasbord of the best but c'mon, there comes a point where the best make-up artist reaches their limits with their subjects. The actors were too old for their younger parts. It just came across as kind of comical. Not only that but you can't make people have younger voices. The elderly develop distinctive speech characteristics and it was very apparent especially when the actors were their younger characters.

Sorry, didn't work for me.
