Decade Defying Gangster Epic

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2019)

By far the best picture of the year and I am confident that it's gonna grab so many awards during the award season. Scorsese gives us exactly what we expected from his dream project even if it has arrived a little late. De Niro - Pesci - Scorcese reunite after 24 years since Casino to recreate the same magic chemistry in a 180+ minute plus gangster epic.
It's extremely surprising when you think the man who played the iconic Michael Corlene is only working with the master himself only in their late 70s. Al Pacino is the heart and soul of this movie, his performance is his best since Angels of America and he does it so effortlessly. All the actors whom we all loved in their prime return together once again to give us a one final goodbye.
Unlike his previous mob movies, Scorsese doesn't direct a tough guy macho type mob film but shows us a carousel about the 30 year journey of one Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro). The music is very subtle and the violence is very very minimal. Irishman is about loyalty, betrayal, parenting, politics, law enforcement, corruption and many more things. I wouldn't have minded a 5 hour running time honestly, this movie is flawless.
