It’s great to see the documentary that accompanies it. Pesci initially thought he’d be Tony Pro. Most amusing. But I think he was excellent in this role. Really good. Menacing too.

An extra 10 seconds of dialogue somewhere establishing a wartime injury for Frank would have made the grocery store scene a lot less distracting. De-aging stuff was 90% good, but you can't make old men not walk like old men.

They apparently had to be reminded to go faster, and would shout numbers if they had to redo it.

That would be handy in fairness. Just to give him a slight limp and maybe like a dodgy shoukder/spine.

Just caught this one today. Didn't realize it was on Netflix. I thought it was just in theatres. Was a nice surprise.
I liked the second half better than the first. Good story though. I felt for Frank when he had to do what he did. Favorite moment had to be when Pacino said "you fucking wop". Almost choked on my drink.
DeNiro's blue eyes bothered me. They looked weird. So distracted by them.
