I don't think it will achieve the same cult status as Goodfellas or Casino

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2019)

The Irishman is a movie that follows the life of a mob enforcer Frank Sheeran and his involvement with the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa.
The movie is good and worth watching, but my advice is to have as little expectation as possible prior to watching it, otherwise you might get disappointed. Majority of people will probably go into this movie expecting something similar to Goodfellas or Casino, but you won't get that from this movie. The only thing this movie shares with the two previously mentioned, apart from certain actors, is the style of narrating. Goodfellas and Casino are movies where the mob life is portrayed in all its light and glory, where the characters lived like kings and could do whatever they wanted. The Irishman is more drama than it is crime, a dissection of its characters and their lives. The biggest minus about the film, as most people who saw it say, is the length. Some say the pacing is good, some disagree. Personally, I think the movie could have been shorter and thus my grade would be higher.
All in all it is a good movie to watch, but, in my opinion it is not a masterpiece or a movie that will achieve a cult status like Goodfellas or Casino.
