Rating: 6/10 (30 November 2019)

Great production, flawless direction, nice ending and all. You don't expect less from Scorsese. But I guess all these 10/10 are out of love for Martin, Al and De Niro, since the movie itself is not that outstanding. With The Departed Scorsese breathed new life in the genre. Shutter Island is an absolute masterpiece, from any point of view. The Wolf of Wall Street another masterpiece, and one of the funniest movies ever. Now The Irishman is some kind of a vintage flavor, a farewell to a period when everybody was doing films about mobsters, and Scorsese and De Niro were doing the best ones. But as I said, this doesn't stand out on an historical scale - because that's what Scorsese got us used to.
