Grumpy Old Gangsters

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2019)

This is both a Scorcese gangster epic, but it is also one of his faith based movies. It tells the story of an Irish assassin for the NY mob who becomes a bodyguard for Jimmy Hoffa. They become good friends - but as years go by he is asked by his Mafia boss to assassinate Hoffa. The later half of the film deals with the repercussions of the events surrounding the death of Hoffa. The choices we make in life that can destroy our soul - and hopefully God forgives us in the end.
