Was great to see the de-ageing technology working so well but I was a little bit disappointed to see the de-hamming technology they were supposedly also going to use on this film fail so miserably.

I was under the impression that through computer wizardry they could take 30-40% ham off the performance of Al Pacino but he still seemed to be rendered at the same 100% hammy level as usual. Will they ever perfect this technology?
