it's actually more a documentary

Rating: 4/10 (17 January 2020)

The Irishman tries hard to be a "classic" like "casino" or "Goodfellas" with some scenes that try to be similar, but somehow struggle to have the same impact. I was wanting to love this film and my expectations were severely let down. Puting aside the slow pace, the great cast of my favorite actors (especially in this type of film) just felt flat where it should have been cool. I don't know what went wrong,..script, story, acting, old age! But this film just does not compare to the previous excellent "classics". The film was simply boring after tow hours you will be interested in this movie!! And the scene where DeNiro beats up the store owner has been the worst scene I've ever witnessed, he looked like an old, really pretending to kick the owner, and when the owner smashes the glass on the front door he doesn't even hit it hard, they obviously only did one take and he was meant to go flying through rather than just slapping the glass with his hand. The character are way too old to be playing these parts DeNiro looks like a 75 year old trying to play the part of a 45 year old but looks like a 55 year old guy that really is 75. I hate to say it but it's pretty bad all I'm going to say is that they tried hard but these guys are way too old now the aging looked weird especially on Deniro and their movement and body language was off this was a role they should have done like 30 years ago in my opinion Pacino was really the only bright spot of the film but everything else was just boring and uninteresting I just didn't care about nothing in this film or the characters at all it was just very boring honestly
