An Outstanding Achievement, And An Unusual 'Gangster Movie' that you must try to see in a Cinema

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2019)

I have seen this movie twice now, and have my 3rd viewing booked for next week before it leaves the Cinema.
If you are going to watch it at Home, treat it with respect, do it in one sitting with no distractions...maybe have an intermission around the 90 minute mark (when JFK leaves the story...)... But this movie is a true cinematic experience.
I would describe it as Goodfellas mixed with Once Upon A Time In America, but without the Cocaine, or Opium.... Both of those are all time Classics, and I feel The Irishman is going to be seen in the same class...it is fantastic.
One thing I found very unusual.was how little cursing or bad language there is in this movie... I don't know if more than a few were used, if any even...this movie is mainly about older guys doing their jobs to feed their loved ones, and Frank Sheeran is a guy caught between two masters, and is eventually made to decide one over the other, and the ripples through his life because of this life he has led.
Pesci and Pacino are a joy to behold, as the faces of his two masters...you just find yourself smiling away at how good they are to watch. De Niro has an incredibly low profile central perfomance, until near the end, but it is perfectly suited to the story. The rest of the cast are all on point and the whole.movie feels like a masterclass in acting and direction.
Awesome. Scorcese For Ever.
