Scorsese said that the film is going to be a comedy, so the casting does make sense.

The script is a mile-a-minute recounting from Jordan's perspective — very much in the same style as Goodfellas — and as much dark comedy as drama (if not more). It is lighthearted in a way. It's certainly not grim, which of course it could've been. I would only say it's redundant in the sense that it reminded me so much of Goodfellas. It's the kind of movie that will play as great entertainment, but the way the story is told (super fast pace, very plotty) will keep it from achieving anything like masterpiece tier. I think it will the best Scorsese since The Departed, though

I dunno, this looks like a pretty normal cast to me.

No, the script for this isn't' lighthearted at all. It's insufferable and redundant.
