Brilliant Work of Art

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2019)

With a 3 hour 29 minute runtime, The Irishman is bound to be at least a little slow, but within that runtime is a wonderfully executed piece of art, which is both brilliantly acted, fantastically directed, and beautifully shot. The cast is off the wall fabulous with the three leads; Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci; obviously being the standouts. With the films impressively long runtime, you think there would be more to say about the film, but truly, not much can be said about the film. The film can be slow and slightly confusing to follow, but in the end proves to be an energetic clever gangster film that knows exactly what it is doing. The script is also wonderfully written, with enough chilling, as well as incredibly interesting, dialogue that seems to carry the film more than enough to make quite an impact. In the end, The Irishman is the end of an era film that will be held as one of the greatest gangster films of this time, and it more than deserves that title.
My Rating: 9.5/10
