Best Crime Drama Of The Year!

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2019)

The Irishman is about Frank Sheeran meeting Jimmy Hoffa. Jimmy Hoffa likes him so much he doesn't go anywhere without him. The only problem about that is he gets wrapped up in all of his business.
The Irishman is truly a work of art. One of the best films of the year by far. Loved every minute of it. There was only a little bit of it where I thought it was slow. That had to deal with the runtime. You thought The Godfather was long, well guess what, this film is forty minutes longer. It is crazy. In my mind they just needed to shave off twenty minutes. That is it! Besides that, I loved it. The acting was fantastic. This might be one of the best casts ever. My favorite out of all of them is Joe Pesci. First of all, I thought it was cool to see him back in the game. Second of all, he just nailed his role. He was fantastic as Russell. Robert De Niro also executed his role to his full potential. I think he should get nominated for an Oscar for best actor in lead role. Al Pacino didn't do bad, but he has had better. The cinematography couldn't go without talking about too. It was really good. It reminded me of Orson Wells style that he used in Citizen Kane. The story was also really engrossing. I never found my mind drifting away. I really enjoyed the classical score that they had playing throughout the film too. Another thing they did great, is the CGI. They had to use it throughout the film for many reasons. The big thing was de-aging people. That is one of the hardest things to do with CGI. I could only find one or two shots that didn't line up. Besides that, it was flawless. CGI was also used for most of the blood. I am not the biggest fan of CGI blood because it looks so fake and cheesy. I didn't think it was as bad as Jurassic World, but it still wasn't the best. One scene Martin Scorsese decided to use blood packets instead of CGI. It was obvious when he did, but I found it pretty cool.
Overall, The Irishman is an outstanding film I would recommend for anybody.
