Outstanding Movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2019)

After watching the movie I just felt sad, not because it was a bad movie but because it was the realisation that it's the last time we will see a movie like this and last time we see this amazing cast.
Al Pacino De Niro and Keitel but a special mention to Joe Pesci who was just incredible. Loved seeing him playing the boss and opposite of what we have seen him play in the likes of Goodfellas and Casino.
These pwerehouses of their industry will be a huge loss but at least we got to see them at the top of their game in so many movies.
All hope is not lost though with some great performances from a younger generation of actors who play fantastic roles in The Irishman. Stephen Graham (needs an Al Capone movie just for Stephen by the way) once again really shows what a quality actor he is and i really liked Domenick Lombardozzi as Fat Tony even though it was a small part.
I see some reviews saying oh was too long and could have taken an hour if easy. Well they are all wrong and obviously have the attention span of a small child. Personally I hope Marty brings out a uncut version 6 hours long as I wish I could have seen more and learned more about other characters ie fat Tony as well as others.
I found the story very interesting as I never knew how the mafia used the unions for cash. Every scene just seemed to suck me in and was listening intently to every word.
If you are a movie buff you will love this movie, if all you like to watch is fast and furious or just violent gangster movies with no story or just a bad story maybe The Irishman isn't for you.
All in all it was a joy to watch and can't wait to watch again. I've seen Goodfellas god knows how many times and I'm sure The Irishman will be in the same category.
