Didn't really enjoy this in the same way I didn't much care for Tarantino's recent love letter to Hollywood. Felt like competent directors falling short because they got too attached to their passion projects.

Joe Pesci was great and I echo the other goon -- would love to see him in more understated, menacing roles as opposed to psycho or goofy roles.

Also, between Ray Romano's performance here and David Schwimmer's work in The People v. OJ, I'm very much onboard for ex-sitcom stars hamming it up in dead-serious dramas.

edit: Stephen Graham was superb in Boardwalk Empire, so glad to see him here again. Scorsese hired a bunch of Boardwalk Empire alumni.

Honestly I think it was just a fish, and the conversation is to demonstrate that Frank has his radar on high alert for threats and is pulling at any tiny thread he notices that might indicate something is amiss, AND Jessie Plemons character is an oblivious idiot who will go pick up a fish and deliver it without even noticing what type of fish it is.
It seemed more abnormal to me that someone would expect him to know what fish he delivered.

The grocery store scene did look odd to me, but is it really because Robert De Niro cannot exert himself physically? The man has looked perfectly fit any time I’ve seen him.
