Slow paced, boring, De Niro too old for role

Rating: 2/10 (2 December 2019)

While Scorcese is a great director, he fails in the Irishman. Terribly slow paced, ridiculous flashback scenes of De Niro and Pesci as young men that is utterly unconvincing. These are old men trying to appear you g and cannot pull it off. In one scene De Niro beats up a grocer and he is supposed to be the father of his 13 year old daughter. It's ridiculous. He looks like a 76 year old man shuffling and trying to hurt the grocer. This is sad. The plot line is fine but should have been condensed into 2 hrs.
