Looked forward to seeing this after is got a rare 5 star rating by the ST film critic.

Saw it a few nights ago on Netflix (a neighbour's not mine).

I won't go into details so as not to spoil it for anyone about to see it.

I quite enjoyed it. However I did not think it was a groundbreaking classic. The three main characters DeNiro, Pesci and Pacino did look past their 'best by' date - in spite of CGI. The film made no new statements that haven't been made by other great Mafia/gangster films.

I'd be interested to hear others' views.'

Agreed, but after The Godfather and The Soprano's etc, there really aren't many "classics" around plus this isn't one of them. Very long, very prolonged but I plodded through to the end. Why I liked it was because I ran in front of the screen with a few breaks in between and lost 2 lbs :D

It was just OK for me.
