A brand new Martin Scorsese masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2019)

A brand new epic gangster drama that more than deserves its long screen time, The Irishman is a pure masterpiece, a film that will stay with me for a long time. What an acting performance by Pacino, De Niro and Pesci. Martin Scorsese's well-known themes can be seen again with a gripping, funny and profound effect. The music is simply brilliant, what i say? Phenomenal!!
It is a historical and fascinating story that you have to the watch concentrate and not in episodes, in addition you must understand the history around Hoffa. I felt a lot of atmosphere from several Mafia films like; Goodfellas, Casino, The Godfather. I also sometimes thought of Quentin Tarantino's Once upon a time in Hollywood. Pacino reminded me even a little of his role as Michael Corleone and Tony Montana. Sometimes there are some slow / silent moments in between, which are perfect, especially the last half hour, but those minutes are worth it because the acting is brilliant. I was in shock when Frank killed Hoffa out of nowhere. However, the film cannot really be compared with Goodfellas as many people thought. Its a stand-alone classic, and for sure one of the best Scorsese movies ever. Scorsese can be proud. Good job in terms of de-aging. The 210 minutes flew by. I'm a happy person!
