-Removed-I am deceived by dangerous roles and characters like Joe Pesci's in this film - a very dangerous man but his appearance is that of an intelligent, kind and helpful man. And yes, he is loyal to his closest friends such as the Irishman but otherwise his loyalties can switch, others unaware. I am reluctantly fascinated by the Maffia and their power.
-Removed-The story is very good.
The acting is superb!
But, watching those guys trying to look and act as they were, 30 years ago, made me cringe.
Marty would have fared better with younger actors portraying the early years.
Still, I cannot deny I enjoyed seeing that ensemble cast back together again. Masters at work!
@torunn saidThe reality is far less glamorous.
