A fabulous movie-its length gives depth to the greatness of cast and director.

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2019)

The Irishman is not a film for everyone. It is not a film for women who are more comfortable with films containing women characters of substance; it is not a film for Hollywood Action-character movies with multiple follow-ups, and it is not a film for people to whom Gangster films are a put-off. Having said that, it is a film for film-goers who enjoy the slow development of story and who enjoy an afternoon of continuous story manipulation: of character, of time sequence and historical operative.
The final substance of the film dealing with Teamster boss, Jimmy Hoffa allows Pacino to dominate the screen with a pizazz that only a Great like Pacino can manage.
Diane and I missed this magnificent film on the Big Screen and watched it on our home small screen but by whatever size screen, make every effort to see it.
