The Irishman of Scorsese's best in gangster cinema, but not the best ...

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2019)

A great movie, since it is from Scorcese, which means a quality standard. It is a film very similar to Goodfellas, but with a more human touch, and a more nostalgic for the director's farewell to the gangster subgenre, which undoubtedly increases the rating for many filmmakers. Great address. Very good script although by repetitive sections to what Martin has accustomed us to, but very well condemned, although by sections it becomes heavy due to the large number of characters, but very well carried out: especially with the comic situations, exhibition of the story and ... without a doubt, the best scene in the movie: Jimmy's murder. Awesome creation of atmosphere. Very good sound mix. Impossible rejuvenation effect by sections. Very vain performances, which we have seen a lot in Scorsece cinema, without a doubt the most notable is the great performance of Al Pacino. Excellent lighting. Anyway, a great movie, but nothing new or exotic, one more gangster movie but with a different countenance: nostalgia. Which makes it overvalued too much. But it's not Martin's best movie, far from it; His best film works in the subgenre are, without a doubt: Good fellas and The Departed.
