This is about as good as it gets

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2020)

This is one of those rare kinds of movies that draws you in with it's atmosphere and story and never lets you go until it finishes.
I'll be honest in saying that I wasnt a huge fan of the godfather movies but damn, the Irishman just seems to get everything right.
Great characters, perfect production values and a gripping story.
Only thing is that it's just a wee bit too long and some parts just drag on for a bit. But I guess if you want to tell a story like this and your Name is Martin Scorcese you gotta do it right. I'm not even gonna mention the stellar cast, De Niro and Pacino are amazing but Joe Pesci at times just steals the show. And it tells a lot about a movie when somebody like Harvey Keitel is just a sidenote.
Definitely worth a watch.
