typical Scorsese's styile

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2019)

The Irishman," a three-and-a-half-hour epic from Scorsese, masterfully and completely unfolds Sheeran's story. The Irishman" is long, to be sure, but always compelling and with a great cast, i.e. Scorsese, De Niro, Pacino and Pesci, all in their mid-to-late-70s.
This is, of course, familiar territory for Scorsese, who's made numerous films exploring the world of mafia; no one's better at showing us a cavalcade of men with leathery voices and averted eyes, following them down dark hallways and sidewalks, sitting with them in old styled Italian restaurants or in ordinary middle-class living rooms. Mobster after mobster crosses paths with Sheeran and Hoffa; Scorsese shows us, in onscreen notes, their eventual fate. With one exception (a man "well liked by all," who died of natural causes), all met violent ends.
