I didn't realise he was trying to make it different from goodfellas and casino. In fact, the steady cam one take scene right at the start of the movie seemed to be a deliberate attempt from the outset to make it similar to both, or at least persuade the audience that's what they were going to get.

The narration from the main protagonist throughout and music score also made me think immediately of both former movies. It just all felt a bit flat and a disappointing sign off. Certainly not a classic and at best the least good of the 3 movies.

Time will tell and everyone has different opinions on it. It's difficult to imagine it being up in the top 20, 50 or possibly even 100 movies of all time though.
