Scorsese's done it again

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2019)

I don't know how, but Martin Scorsese was able to outdo himself once again. The Irishman is tense, gut wrenching, funny, and, somehow, relatable at times. De Niro, Pesci, and Pacino give performances of a lifetime, some could say their best. Somehow, Scorsese makes you feel empathy and sadness for cold blooded killers, after showing up close killings that somehow don't make you cringe. The only killing you feel remorse for is Hoffa, though the killing is emotionless, just like the others. These four hours of my life were extremely well spent.
