I thought it was a bit long, but found it engrossing throughout. Watched it on NetFlix so we were able to stop it when we needed bathroom breaks. With its many references and shadows to Scorsese's other gangster flicks, it somehow felt like a Scorsese gangster museum. The main fault I had with the film is that the CGI generated younger faces didn't match their older bodies...they moved like geezers, not younger versions of themselves so it really didn't work that well. Acting nod to Pesci, whose understated performance was stellar to a tee.
