Another great Mafia movie.

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2020)

I think it's strange that some people think this movie is overrated, or even worse, rating it anything lesser than a seven. I agree that Martin Scorsese made better movies but to say this one is bad is just ridiculous. If you like the mobster genre you will like this one as well. It's a story worth to be told, as most of the people (at least the older generation) know all the characters from newspaper headlines, books or movies. The Irishman is long, very long, but I wasn't bored for one second, and for that alone it's already an achievement. I think this movie is worth all the nominations it got, the make up is the only thing that could have been better. But what to say about the cast? Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, those are all names that always deliver, certainly in Mafia related movies. The rest of the cast was also perfect for this movie. To me Martin Scorsese is the master in this genre. Every mob movie he made is a delight to watch and so is The Irishman.
