Watched this on Netflix, not my favorite Scorcese movie by any means but the premise of the film and cast list was impressive so I gave it a go. Didn't much care for Deniros performance because I just felt like he took me out of the movie by how much his acting hit me on the head so to speak. I'm a huge fan of his and I couldn't get into him or his character in the movie. I feel like of he could've made himself a bit more subtle it could have brought some much needed nuance to the role. His accent was also a bit distracting and by the end of the film I really lost any interest or intrigue as to how scary his character was supposed to be. I'm sure people will disagree but as far as other Scorcese/Deniro partnerships this one ranks pretty low for me.
