The Irishman - a review!
When I got home from work yesterday, I made some food and then watched the new Martin Scorsese film on Netflix.It's a behemoth of a film, clocking n at 3 hours and 30 minutes to be exact. The movie doesn't feel boring at all, which is rare, when it has the run time it has.
The movie stars Robert DeNiro, as Frank Sheeran, a truck driver who gets involved with Russell Bufalino, expertly played by Joe Pesci, and his Pennsylvania crime family, and Jimmy Hoffa, played by Al Pacino.
Slowly you see Frank work his way up from small time errand guy to a powerful hitman. It is a very slow burn, but it's definitely worth it in the end!
There is not much I can tell, in fear of spoiling the story. It is on Netflix, so give it a watch! It reminds me of the classic gangster movies like Casino and Goodfellas, two excellent movies in their own right.
9/10
