If Casino is the unofficial sequel to Goodfellas, The Irishman completes the trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2019)

In my opinion, this movie absolutely lives up to the hype as one of the last mobster epics of a dying genre.
Based on the bestselling book "I Heard You Paint Houses", this tells the tales and stories witnessed firsthand by Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran (De Niro) who was rumored to be a mob enforcer that went from truck driving to a mob hitman to later being Jimmy Hoffa's (Pacino) bodyguard and right hand man. Frank eventually meets Pennsylvania mob boss Russell Bufalino (Pesci) who becomes his closest friend in the mob and helps gets his start in doing mob work.
The movie includes a Goodfellas like timeline that spans from the 1950s to the 1970s and features Frank's stories of his involvement in The Bay of Pigs In 1961 to Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance in 1975.
The movie's runtime might be too long but it is certainly worth the hype and the long length.
