Like listening to an old man tell an interesting story

Rating: 7/10 (29 January 2020)

Watching The Irishman is, appropriately, a lot like listening to an old man tell a story. It drags on a little too long and sometimes it loses focus about where it's heading, but it's interesting stuff. And after it's over, you're glad you listened to it. This movie feels like an epilogue for Martin Scorsese's work, featuring his favorite subject matter and actors. This film didn't blow me away, but it's still a well-made organized crime drama.
