My opinion of this Scorsese hit has weakened even further over the years, to the point I think it's his emptiest and most soulless film this side of The Color of Money. Di Caprio is magnificent on any metric and his pairing with Jonah Hill is as good a pairing as Gene Wilder and Richard Prior but the screenplay presents us with vapid nothing characters in a holding pattern for the same repeated half hour for three hours straight, a time-frame The Irishman earned.
