The *BEST* Movie of 2019

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2020)

No doubt, simply the best Netflix film ever made and the best movie of 2019.
Where do I even begin? This film is so entertaining and perfect, the run time of 3 hours and 30 minutes feels more like 2 hours and 45 minutes, because I was having a blast with every single scene. De Niro plays Frank Sheeran, he ends up getting involved in the mob which technically speaking destroys his life, his daughter thinks of Pacino's character Jimmy Hoffa more of a father to her. Frank gets involved in Joe Pesci's character which ends up with bad blood between the father and Peggy. She ends up accepting the fact he's part of the mob and goes out killing people, so she approaches Jimmy Hoffa as more of a father figure. The story has its fair share of sad moments, like when Pesci's character passes away, and most importantly the death of Jimmy Hoffa. Obviously, in real life, Frank never killed Hoffa himself, the case of who really killed Hoffa still remains a mystery, but Carlo Licata is the suspected murderer.
What is also amazing and unique about this film, is how when it introduces its characters like Angeleno Bruno, it addresses how they died. Also, its use of CGI, I wouldn't have noticed if I saw the film not knowing it was made by Scorsese, because it looks so realistic, it's actually fantastic! This is definitely my favourite of the decade, no doubt in my mind, there has been no other picture exploring such an in-depth real life story and that ahs had me as engaged as The Irishman did.
