Great group of legendary actors doing their thing

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2020)

The Irishman was too long ... having said that, it was a great gangster movie. It was a very fine piece of story telling, with flashbacks and with great acting of the caliber you would expect from the old timers. The technology that allowed for the aging of the characters was fantastic, really loved that. Especially, enjoyed seeing Al Pacino in a more subtle role- same for Joe Pesci. His delivery of a powerful, yet low key behavior was also very appreciated. Not over the top caricatures but real characters fleshed out, as flawed and dangerous, but human and even tender at times. There is some question about the validity of the "death bed confession" but it made a very interesting film that included a historical timeframe. Gives people something to think about regarding JFK assassination and the disappearace of Gotti.
