The Irishman USA 2019 – 209min.

A fascinating mix of dark Mafia narrative and old-style Boston trade union gangsterism featuring Pacino, De Niro and Keitel. You'll know from that whether this is your thing or not. It is my thing, and I greatly enjoyed it. It has all the ingredients you expect, and want, from the genre. Main complaint is that it meandered a bit. 3.5 hours was too long.

Not an Oscar winner, but a top-class film that just about about makes it onto the same table as Goodfellas, Casino, and the rest.… Show more
