Not the classic it should be

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2019)

So let's be clear, this film has an amazing cast, some brilliant acting and amazing scenes and it should've been a fantastic two and a half hour film.
However, there's an hour of unnecessary padding that makes it drag and the last half is a bit boring. Characters seem to be introduced for the sake of it without any real relevance to the main storyline which gives it a disjointed feel.
This doesn't compare to Goodfellas or the Godfather films and I can think of a dozen "gangster films" I'd watch again over The Irishman.
