I've watched this series 3 times now & Matthew Goode is perfect in this role because he's so flat & so unemotional or dare I say such a bad actor, he can get by with it in this role.

In Downton Abby he was bad, really bad Tony. I thought he was playing his vampire role again. Compared to Matthew the actor that played Lady Mary's first husband, it was good he stayed gone driving his cars.

I wondered if anyone else had noticed this as well?

Don't read the bad reviews! It's from people who wanted blood & guts like Casino & those type Gangster movies! This movie is NOT that. It's more of a docudrama that telling the real true story of two very real people, told by one of them. Yes, there's plenty of killing & blood, but just not crazy like Casino. The energy and story are significantly different and move in a different pace.

This is a movie telling the story of two of the more famous real Gangsters in New York. It was fascinating. I've always loved the gangster movies especially those based on true stories.

The movie didn't substitute names, it used their real names and if you're really an American Mob junkie, you'll know exactly who everyone is that's on your screen. What part he had to play in this particular story and how it effected everyone else in the American CosaNostra. Shocking reality, not made up for added drama effects.

The actors played their parts to perfection. D'Niro was at the top of his game being 82 years old. Duel rolls & I'd often forget he was playing both parts! He changed his mannerism, his speech patterns, literally becoming the other person.

Debra Messing was wonderful as Frank's wife in that supporting role. You almost don't recognize her. All the supporting actors were really fantastic actually. They took great direction and I can clearly see where the director wanted to go with his visione. He definitely hit the mark in my opinion.

I'm so glad I watched this movie.
