I am somewhat a fan of Scorsese's work. And not surprised at the hype many of these commenters heap on this movie. Have to agree with several others that DeNiro 's delivery was plodding and tortured., Pacino's role was quite overdone, with his carrying-on about language, and the outrageous yelling spasms. Pesci was Pesci. Very dull story; women smokers were a highlight to watch. What purports to be an epic film, all about a hit man, seems a bridge too far. for me. My 5 rating now seems to be too charitable for this dross film.
