Way Too Long and Where's the FBI?
5 February 2024
Main problem with the film is it's excessive length. Could have easily been shorted by 30 to 45 minutes with better editing. The other major problem, from my point of view, is leaving out most of the FBI's involvement in the story. The book spent a great deal of time documenting the FBI's part in solving the crimes. The movie, not so much. On the plus side of the ledger, the acting was quite good. DeNiro and Decaprio were well cast and both did an excellent job as the main protagonists. The rest of the cast was quite good as well. The story depicts a very dark part of American history. One that I'm sure most Americans are not familiar with. Well worth the telling.
