Well , when Al Pacino and Robert De Niro work together you know it is going to be a hell of a film and this is exactly that. There was no point in the film where I felt bored , and the storytelling is great in this film. One of the best Crime/Thriller I would say and definitely worth watching.

Would say a decent flick for me! Really liked the arcs of the characters and the performances too. Liked the drama part of the film to an extent and the action sequences were good too. Especially the bank heist sequence was fabulous in making! Had a big expectation on it, maybe that's the problem! The cat and mouse game between Pacino and De Niro was neatly handled! For me, it's an okayish watch!
