I fell asleep twenty minutes before the end and the ending in my dream was waaaay better than the one in the movie which turns out is just a theory and not even true. This whole film makes alot more sense when you find out it was solely written by a guy in his 90s.

Am I talking to me? there's no other actors so I must be talking to me! There is enough good things in this film where I can honestly say it's... fine but it's SO BORING. There was no reason for De Nero to play both of those parts and while he actually gave pretty solid performances. This film still kind of just felt like a waste of time
