That scene is ridiculous, but the de-aging was worse than ridiculous. At the beginning of the movie I thought De Niro was supposed to be about fifty years old. I knew he had been digitally de-aged but it never crossed my mind he was supposed to be in his twenties. For a good chunk of the movie I didn't understand why the gangsters were so interested in recruiting a middle-aged truck driver.
The de-aging prevented me from understanding the story.
