Martin Scorsese's Magnum Opus

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2020)

A sprawling crime opus that reunites the legends of the craft for one last ride, The Irishman is quite possibly Martin Scorsese's final venture into crime epics and serves as a memorable coda that provides a fitting closure to the genre he popularised. An acting powerhouse led by stellar performances from Robert De Niro, Al Pacino & Joe Pesci, it is easily my favourite of all Scorsese-De Niro collaborations, features the best ensemble of the year, and is arguably the esteemed auteur's magnum opus.
