Solid in every way except emotionally

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2019)

Despite much to compliment, it being stylish and flowing, I never found myself emotionally attached to 'The Irishman'. There was no one too fall in love with. Instead, it was almost as if history had reenacted itself for my critical contentedness. Nevertheless, the cast were excellent stereotypes. Hats off to Joe Pesci whose historical comical demeanor irritated me. Here, being subdued suited him... and me. I cannot dispute 'The Irishman' being good companion to its Godfather predecessors. The story was like a road trip, long but memorable. If it's a farewell, it becomes another reason why Martin Scorsese will be fondly remembered.
