The hype surrounding "The Irishman" is real and if you're a fan of cinema or Scorsese or crime films in general, this is one for the ages. Running at three and a half hours, the length of the film didn't even affect me or those I was with. The length is needed and every detail is necessary in "The Irishman". Robert De Niro is superb, Joe Pesci's performance is something you've never seen before; calm and collected, and Al Pacino is absolutely sensational. Upon leaving my seat I felt overwhelmed with emotion and overly satisfied with what I had just witnessed, which was much more than a mob film. Consider this Martin Scorsese's magnum opus and a riveting must-see.
