it has an interesting story(on paper) and robert deniro does a decent job at playing both his characters but the editing, cinematography and music are all so boringly done. the writing is somewhat interesting but all of those 3 things really bring done the pacing and film ingeneral.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical rise-and-fall story of two men whose hunger for power fractures a bond forged in blood. It's the slow-burn anatomy of how ambition poisons loyalty.
