Vintage Scorsese: Another classic

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2019)

Ever since I heard of this film and cast I awaited with eager anticipation. The director who made the iconic Goodfellas and Casino was back again with his usual crew. The Irishman does not lose a step, its pace is quick and information is hurled at you. You are taken on a big journey and experience a great deal of infamous mob history. This is a fantastic film from start to finish and this stellar cast hits it out of the park.
Al Pacino steals the show and every scene he is in. We get an intimate look at the lives of Hoffa, Frank and a number of key figures over time. The beauty of this film is the depth and connections of all these figures. The Irishman brings history and organised crime to life. I will be watching this film another time to experience and pick up even more.
We should count our lucky stars that we got to see Scorsese team up with the likes of De Niro, Pacino and Jo Pesci for what will become a classic. 8.5/10
