Warning: Spoilers
I surmise Scorsese and Deniro and pesce got together in a smoke filled room and finally decided to put an end to taxi drivers asking "when you guys gonna make another one?"

So they said , "this should settle everyone down : we'll thrown in everything but the kitchen sink and tommy 's mothers eggs and sausages!

Yes, all the actors are pretty terrific and what a rare chance to watch 'em cook again ! Except there's no ray liotta to cook up any tomato sauce !

Ray liotta shoulda coulda played the holy hell outta that union boss ! He even for C-sakes looked like him . But ....no. Al Pacino is fine , yes ....

I think this review is getting to be as long as the picture !

So I'll say , something's wrong with this thing ...can't really pinpoint how . Let's just say it moves like a soap opera and there's too much about Hoffa ! Is it the Sheeran story or the Hoffa story ?

Where was Lorraine Bracco?

Somebody PLEASE talk Marty into recutting it for 2 hours and 15 minutes and use the original 3.5 hr. theatre version for bonus material on the DVD. Or do the 2 hr 15 m version as "new directors cut ".
