He did have the one classic scene I mentioned earlier about being late to the Miami meeting.

yeah, Pacino ranting about wearing clothes to a meeting scene was fantastic.

Pacino hasn’t been good for a very long time. Scent of a Woman was probably his last really good acting performance.

I watched it over the weekend and was impressed.
Pesci was the best and Harvey Keitel was pretty badass as well. A couple of Big mob hits were accounted for in this one. It makes you wonder if this guy really hit them or not- seems pretty plausible, especially with Crazy Joe Gallo. |

And his last great movie was Insomnia before this one. Alot of his movies over the past 17-18 years have been made with inferior talent and direct to home video stuff.

The pacing dragged. I had to break it into parts to finish it. It was a good watch but, unlike Marty's other films, I wouldn't watch it again. The Action Bronson Cameo (even though I'm a fan of his music and TV show) was...interesting, to say the least.

I watched it in 2 parts and it was fine. No time for movies that long or I'd have no trouble finishing.

While I watched it I felt at the end that is was three actors who should have just faded away playing the same style of role they have always played in a story that nobody cares about.
So I made it through 30 minutes and got done with it post haste... |

I watched about 40 minutes over lunch.
Are we sure this movie is good? I mean, watching a computer generated DeNiro 'savagely pummel' the shop owner with a series of old man kicks and foot stomps that couldn't put out a lit cigarette made me long for the days of Sonny Corleone's phantom punch on Carlo. I'm kinda concerned at this point that this movie might suck. We shall see...

I liked it. But, DeNiro was paid to basically just stare into a camera for a crazy mount of time.
Pacino was....Pacino of late. Cartoonish. Didn’t believe him as Hoffa at all. Pesci was really good. Subdued , but powerful.

Even in Goodfellas he seemed overmatched by DeNiro (who was in the midst of his prime, IMO) and Liota. I think they may have overplayed the 'understated quasi Mafia-Don' persona, but I don't know Buffalino's history all that well. The 50's and 60's were such a fascinating time for NY Organized crime. All the post-war jockeying of the families to establish territory in the wake of Luciano's deportation makes for some good reading. Luciano himself is a really interesting character as well with Lansky and Siegel. Luciano essentially created the 'NY Mafia' as we know it.
