I've enjoyed a lot of mafia movies and wasn't bored for a minute, but this one didn't really appeal to me and took a really long time. Slower pace. Don't really look for action here. I wasn't really won over by this film unfortunately though. The plot just didn't grab me somehow. On the one hand, it's not a bad movie. Good actors. Especially Al Pacino pleased me. It wasn't downright bad. But I was bored and unfortunately I wasn't interested throughout the movie and I like mafia themes a lot. A good film for me. That's all. Nothing less. I don't know who I would recommend it to. Perhaps only to fans of mafia movies, although I think there are much, much better pieces.… Expand

This is the reliable car of mob films. If you've seen a Scorsese mob film then you've seen this one. If you haven't, and have the time to invest then watch it -- just try to ignore the de-aging CGI along the way.

Of course, Scorsese delivers a stunning, gangster flick but The Irishman is so much more, a melancholy eulogy for growing old and losing your humanity. Savour every one of its 209 minutes, you won’t regret it.

It shines through in some aspects due to it's strong cast and interesting story...but for me, the duration and the quantity of stories happening at the same time, while we go back and forth in the timeline, made me get a little lost and misunderstand some points in the narrative. Talking about the timeline, another downside is that the story is too flat, meaning that, in the duration of the movie, all the stories told are very simmilar with no action or drama to make them outstand.
In summary, even though, in the beggining the plot called my attention (so did the cast), the movie is not a big deal, but if you are free for a couple of hours, it can - maybe - distract you.… Expand

Firstly, I really enjoyed it. It might even crack my Top 5 Scorsese films, however, as great as the story is - the movie is just way too long.

With being 3hrs long, you’d have to say something could be cut, but the strange thing is - I couldn’t tell you what to cut... It’s seamless. Each scene flows, for the most part, and sure some of it drags, but it all leads up to one hell of an ending. Each component is necessary for understanding the characters - so... if you have 3 hours to spend on watching a film. Go for it. Scorsese doesn’t disappoint.… Expand

Robert De Niro is always a fantastic watch and here he is no different, I absolutely loved every scene of him as Frank. Al Pacino (Jimmy) and Joe Pesci (Russell) are also superb, Pacino particularly. Away from those three, you also have Ray Romano, Bobby Cannavale, Stephen Graham and Harvey Keitel involved. Awesome cast.

This is a tale about morality and loyalty. It presents the life story of a decent, loyal guy, a devoted family man and trustworthy buddy - who is also a crook and a cold-blooded killer, a Mafia operative and hit man, a guy who would shoot a friend in the face or the back if it was called for. The long ending and slow start recall the films of an earlier era, as does the prolonged presentation of the Jimmy Hoffa story.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Irishman is an interesting experiment made by a Veteran who isn't afraid of trying new things for better and worse.

The film didn't seem too long despite the fact that objectively the running time is very long. It also felt very much like a film, I'm glad it wasn't cannibalised for TV.

It's a solid film, impressive sometimes and ordinary other times, the Jimmy Hoffa posturing in -front of a microphone business was sometimes a little rote, Pacino coming off a little one-note at first despite the fact that the book hinges on it and it's a story that (as raised in the film) has passed out of public consciousness now. Maybe it's because it's called The Irishman that I went in not expecting it to revolve entirely around Jimmy Hoffa until a wikipedia on the source material afterwards. (Who am I kidding, it was during).

Which brings me to the Title Card that flashes up: I Heard You Paint Houses, which at first I thought must have been a title card, but by the end I knew was Scorcese being subversive and subtle as usual, having his cake and eating it. I enjoyed that.

More subversion for me comes in the form of (eventually) Anna Paquin's daughter character. Much maligned recently for its lack of dialogue, I actually think the role has more presence than any of the other nonsense. Most dialogue is as sociopathic and soulless and workmanlike as the man himself, Jimmy a man broken and remade as a killer by the War, and so much of it is meaningless. Anna Paquin's stare, her broken accusatory look, pained but as if suppressing permanently, was actually very powerful, and to be able to link the child and adult actors wih the same feeling inside their characters is an inspired bit of casting and directing.

De Niro is stunning and every bit the actor throughout that he has been his whole life. Unlike Pacino who blossoms half way through, he's incredible from the start. His V/O is very very good (incidentally the device that makes it look like he's talking to no one is excessively effective and cheeky) and he manages to (unlike Joe Pesci) act young. With exception of the bit where he crushes the man's hand where he walks and moves like a 70-year-old man.

Which brings us to the CGI, undeniably groundbreaking, and sometimes effective to a wonderful degree, and other times completely jarring and awkward and pulls you straight out of the movie. The eyes feel wrong, almost throughout, too blue, too CGI and sometimes too doe-eyed and glasssy, and sometimes the lips are terrible. And that magic of having DeNiro play a young Brando in The Godfather has been completely removed, now a young actor can't prove his grit when an old actor can be rendered younger, it's a real shame, especially when the old can act young, but the young *are* young. That's a different spirit. But when it works it's seamless and often I couldn't tell when they were aged up or down and by how much.

Overall the film is quite good. That phone call scene is maybe the single best scene I've seen in a year, DeNiro is brilliant. The use of titles explaining the deaths of characters makes it more the special that in this film, Jimmy is still alive. It brings links between the Mafia and the Unions that I never knew, and the banality of some of these people and their lives mixed with the violence of their ends is effectively transmitted.

Also. Action Bronson is in it. The ending, regardless of the protracted runtime, is a riveting and subtle closing of the circle, the quietness of it struck me and stayed with me, an elegant master has created out of a handful of lines, how Jimmy sees himself and his end. To the Priest, and by proxy possibly to Saint Peter: "Don’t shut the door all the way". Can an unrepentant man go to Heaven? Is Frank that man at all?… Expand

Even if you never watched the movie you probably heard one thing about it: It is superThe Irishman is simply the BEST movie that I've ever seen. Of course, Scorcese brings to us a film about Mafia, but he brings so much more than just that.

Even if you never watched the movie you probably heard one thing about it: It is super long. Well, you ain't wrong my friend, but I must say that his 209 minutes is a show of amazing acting and directing.

1950. Frank Sheeran (Robert de Niro), a WWII veteran meets the powerful mobster Russel Buffalino (Joe Pesci), He rises up in the American mafia, and is seconded worked to Jimmy Hoffa's Teamsters, but eventually, these two jobs crash.

Pesci's character, Russel, is the complete opposite of the other work Joe has done with Scorcese before, he's not just the angry little guy like he was on "The Goodfellas", here, Pesci plays an intelligent, calculating and strong character, and he does so in one of his best actings.

Eventually Frank meets Jimmy Hoffa, the President of the American Trucker Union, and they start working together as well. Al Pacino's work on "The Irishman" is incredible. It was his first time working with Martin Scorcese, and I couldn't find a better fit for these two. Pacino knows exactly when, and how, to deliver Hoffa's bursts of anger. The best of it all is his chemistry with Stephen Graham's character, Tony Pro; the scene with the one-fist fight which starts over Tony coming with shorts to a meeting and being late is one amazing piece of art, I must say.

What makes "The Irishman" the best mafia movie of the last years is that it doesn't just end with the bodies buried or the mobsters in jail, Martin makes a movie about life, a movie about aging, loss, family, disappointment, regret, redemption and the inevitable death to everyone, and that's how it ends, with the inevitable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An intriguing and gripping insider story on the life of mafia and gangsters. For yet another time, we see the collaboration of veteran actors De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and the captain of the ship Martin Scorsese.

Scorsese's storytelling is out of this world. Right from the first scene where Frank(De Niro) talks about "painting houses" to the last scene where everyone is old and in jail, it is just outstanding. The non-linear narrative has been used to perfection. It is a story of loyalty, regret and betrayal.

The performances are so good and an incredible amount of character depth has been created.
Frank Sheeran is a retired war soldier who is now a truck driver. ONce an army man, always an army man. He only follows orders and never takes the initiative. Is often confused and flusteres and has no idea about what has to be done.

Russel(Joe Pesci) is a very intimidating gangster. His character is very subtle- everything is inhis control, he runs the show. BUt it never seems like it.

Jimmy Hoffa(AL Pacino) in some aspects, is just the opposite of Russel. He is "at the top", but is narcissistic and egoistic. It eventually leads to his downfall.

The de-aging is exceptional. It is unobtrusive and isn't conspicuous. BUt you can make them LOOK young, you can't make them ACT young. Throughout the movie De Niro has these stiff shoulders, which is so out of sync with respect to his character's looks and age. It seemed
off for the whole length of the movie.

But nevertheless, this is yet another masterpiece. A swansong to all those years of collaboration and masterpieces couldn't have been better. Don't mind the 3.5 hour length. Definitely worth it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a great movie because of how it made a mob movie related to a universal theme. It ends with De Niro contemplating whether everything he did was worth it, dying alone and estranged from his family; scared of what's to come. The acting all around was magnificent. The only real flaw is how long it was. I don't mind the length being longer than most films, because of the detailed storytelling, but I do think that this could have been shortened here and there.… Expand

This movie is pretty great! The performances are all excellent, the story is never slow or boring despite the 3.5 hour runtime and the effects are incredible! The ageing and de-ageing effects make Prometheus and TRON Legacy look worse than they already did! It’s barely noticeable, way more convincing than Tarkin and Leia in Rogue One. This movie has a very classic feel with its actors and setting and subject matter, but at the same time is original and brings the genre to the next level. It’s not just about nostalgia. Other movies should take notes. While I did find it kinda complicated and hard to follow at times, this is a must-see. It’s on Netflix, so it’s very accessible. Put an afternoon aside and give it a watch. It definitely takes you on a journey.… Expand

I’ve heard a lot of people bash the movie for being too slow and too long, but I wasn’t in that category. For what it was, I thought this was a great pace for this type of film. Granted, this could be one of the last films that bring back the vibes of 70’s cinema, although this genre of the slower-paced, deeper toned film may never die down. Overall the acting was superb, the visuals, especially the de-aging, was great for the most part, and the story really took its time to tell itself, which I really appreciated. Definitely a one-time watch, though.… Expand

Tendo em vista que estamos falando da direção de Scorsese, é normal que as expectativas estivessem altas. Para quem gosta do gênero, ou ao menos aprecia o cinema como de fato uma arte, vai se apaixonar pelo filme. O roteiro é incrivelmente rico, trazendo com detalhes a trajetória de Frank, do inicio ao fim, mostrando como oportunidades podem mudar as pessoas e até onde isso as leva - abordando como tema a Mafia. É simplesmente majestoso assistir algo que está sob controle. Aqui toda cena me parece meticulosamente pensada. Em momentos específicos, um plano mais aberto - dando um ponto de visão como se você estivesse lá - deixa tudo mais real e tenso. Os cortes são precisos, e quando há, não nos deixam perdidos. A trilha sonora é fenomenal. Além de casar muito bem com as cenas, ouvir musica boa sempre é ótimo para os ouvidos.

Quanto as atuações, Robert De Niro passa muito bem seus sentimentos sem dizer uma unica palavra. Al Pacino e Joe Pesci entregam o que é preciso para personagens tão marcantes.
E é claro, não posso deixar de mencionar alguns detalhes que impressionam, como: O movimento que é feito ao disparar as armas, o envelhecimento/rejuvenescimento surrealmente detalhado, a atuação dos figurantes - que muitas vezes é negligenciada, mas aqui teve devida atenção.

Enfim, se esse realmente foi o Ultimo filme de Scorsese... terminou o seu legado dando tudo de si e nos entregando sua arte de maneira magistral.… Expand

I would, however, be lying if I said I wasn't a bit let down by the certain elements in play here. Perhaps, it's the media-fuelled hype train powering this movie into the heights of my "most anticipated for the rest of the year" list, but a lot of the fuss made over the length, tech and certain cast members in this movie just didn't come across the way I worry they were supposed to. Was the de-aging impressive? I mean. Not really? It's nowhere near the level of distractingly bad that some have been saying it is, but, again, the impression it made in any direction was slight. Was the three-and-a-half hour runtime justified in the end? Startlingly, no. There are numerous moments, bits of dialogue, and even scenes that either repeat ideas we're already well-acquainted with or add nothing to the overall product as a whole. So why did I like this movie so much? Enter the final act, which tries (and mostly succeeds in) contextualizing the whole of what you've just watched, ultimately shaping the movie at large into one of the more mournful dirges on lost life, time and innocence that I've seen in quite some time. It really gave me pause to see Scorsese and Co. wax so pensively on the subject matter and characters at hand. It approached a plane of near-meta proportions and I was deeply taken by it all. I just wish we got there a tad quicker.

All in all, this is (I assume) a fitting end to Scorsese's reign as gangster movie maestro in chief. Sure, I've seen him do more with less in the subgenre, but it was nice to see the big man step up to the plate one last time.… Expand

The Irishman successfully blends in Scorsese's old and new style, albeit too long.

It tells the story of a real mafia gangster (the eponymous Irishman) based on a book published some years ago.

The Irishman is a very well-made film, every actor is amazing. The plot is about the influence of organized crime in the post-WW2 era America. The story even touches on the human side of what it means to be a killer working for the mafia, how it affects the person and its family, and the aftermath of the truth getting out. And since this film is set in decades past, we see some amazing de-aging technology implemented to restore de Niro, Pesci and Pacino to their relative youth.

But while viewing The Irishman I couldn't escape the feeling that I was basically watching a modern version of The Godfather films or some other influential mafia movie. That's why I'm not awarding this awesome film a full 10/10 score. It just doesn't feel original.

Maybe if you haven't watched The Godfather you'll appreciate The Irishman more than I did. But I repeat, this is an awesome movie directed by a master director and starring great actors.… Expand

In a recent “New York Times” op-ed piece, Martin Scorsese wrote that “cinema was about revelation — aesthetic, emotional and spiritual revelation. It was about characters — the complexity of people and their contradictory and sometimesIn a recent “New York Times” op-ed piece, Martin Scorsese wrote that “cinema was about revelation — aesthetic, emotional and spiritual revelation. It was about characters — the complexity of people and their contradictory and sometimes paradoxical natures, the way they can hurt one another and love one another and suddenly come face to face with themselves.” By Scorsese’s definition, “The Irishman” is a sober success.

The film centers on Frank Sheeran (Robert DeNiro), a low-level Philadelphia mobster. Early on, Sheehan catches the eye of mob boss Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci) and becomes his enforcer and fixer. Eventually, he enters the orbit of Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino) and, under Hoffa’s patronage, rises through the ranks of the Teamsters Union.

One of the most interesting and powerful elements of “The Irishman” is its fascinating shift in tone. (With a running time of 3:29, there’s plenty of time for shifting tonality.) The first 2:30 offers consistent, relatively straightforward character development interspersed with Scorsese’s trademark penchant for brutal violence. After the climactic action scene, the final forty-five minutes of the film take on a gray, mournful, almost wistful tone that is all the more powerful because it stands in such stark contrast to the rest of the film. The ultimate power of this film resides in Sheeran’s reckoning, or lack of reckoning, with himself in the final act.

Clearly, the all-star cast is key to the success of “The Irishman.” The juxtaposition of acting styles is particularly gratifying. As Hoffa, Al Pacino chews the scenery in an occasionally over-the-top performance that is reminiscent of his early work in 1975’s “Dog Day Afternoon.” In stark contrast, Pesci offers a master class in understatement, as the viewer soon learns that the raise of an eyebrow or a small hand gesture can signify the difference between life and death. Harvey Keitel, Ray Romano, Anna Paquin and Bobby Cannavale lend their skills to slight roles along the way.

CGI is another star of the film. Seen most recently, and much more gratifyingly, in this year’s “Terminator: Dark Fate,” computer-driven de-aging of characters appears to be the next big thing. In this film, however, it’s clear that, unlike Norma Desmond, this technology is not yet ready for its close-up.

Critiquing films is, at its best, an exercise in subjectivity. It’s impossible not to be influenced by the previous body of work of the director, the writers and the key actors. It seems likely that this film, if associated with an unknown director and cast, would not have garnered the universal acclaim bestowed on “The Irishman.” This film, particularly the funereal tone of its final act, may rise to emotional heights not fully earned because viewers ultimately see “The Irishman” as an anticipatory elegy for a renowned director and a set of beloved actors who are much closer to the ends of their careers than to their beginnings.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Scorsese has outdone himself with this love letter epilogue called "The Irishman". It seems as if the older Scorsese gets, the more he manages to master art and nuance of film. This mafioso period piece with remnants of politics, betrayal and survival documents the life of Frank Sheeran, a WW2 veteran who had a close affiliation with the Bufalino crime family and Jimmy Hoffa.

Based on the non-fictional book "I Heard You Paint Houses" the film, clocking in at 3 hours and 30 mins, does a brilliant job at luring the viewers into the various characters and does not feel like a lengthy film at all. The film spans over 50 years from 1950 to 2000.

Robert De Niro who plays Frank Sheeran, the main character within the film, delivers an enthralling performance from start to finish. Joe Pesci, who has stayed away from the spotlight, delivers an astounding performance playing Russell "McGee" Bufalino who's demeanor is more calm, mellow but commanding as opposed to Goodfellas and Casino. However, it is Al Pacino who plays Jimmy Hoffa that steals the show delivering a stupendous performance who has links with the mob and ultimately befriends Frank Sheeran.

Scorsese's cinematic chops are in prime form in the film, paying attention to detail in every sequence of the film, allowing the film's sequencing to run as smoothly and adequately as possible. The screenplay by Steve Zaillian is as enticing, gripping and poignant as a film can get leaving audiences with questions of their own by the end of the film. The editing, costume design and cinematography among other elements all complement each other in order to bring about life to the screen. The best way to see the film is on the big screen for the full experience, the TV screen just wont cut it but it boils down to preference.

Some people have complained about the film's length, which I have found surprising because I thought the runtime was perfect and I would not have minded if the film added an extra 10 to 20 minutes. Films like Once Upon A Time in America, Schindler's List and The Godfather 1 and 2 have all shared similar lengths and at the time of release, the length of the films were not criticised as much as this film. It shows how the attention spans of today's audience has changed. Other complaints were to do with CGI de-aging that Scorsese used on all three characters. I personally thought the technology was excellent and it really de-ages the characters really well. Viewers are able to notice the technology in the first flashback scene where Pesci and De Niro are having a conversation about the truck. However, others thought it looked phony on the characters and that it was annoying to observe. I rate this film 5/5 and urge people to see the film without any interruption. I would also emphasize that audiences see the film twice due to various information and elements in the film being missed in the first screening. I would recommend that the viewer wait a week to view it a second time. Martin Scorsese is my favorite director and I must say The Irishman has become my favorite film by the director. Congratulations Scorsese on this masterpiece!… Expand

“The Irishman” stars Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino in this epic saga of mob life in post World War II America. Based on the book by Charles Brandt and screenplay by Steven Zaillian, and ably directed by Martin Scorcese, the film“The Irishman” stars Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino in this epic saga of mob life in post World War II America. Based on the book by Charles Brandt and screenplay by Steven Zaillian, and ably directed by Martin Scorcese, the film traces the life of Frank Sheehan (Mr. De Niro) as he rises from meat truck driver to a confidant of Jimmy Hoffa with ties to the “bosses” of the underworld. The film relies upon and uses “flashback” techniques which, if not done properly, might otherwise interfere with the viewer’s experience. In this instance, however, Mr. Scorcese masterfully utilizes the process to tell a story that, in spite of its 209 minutes of screen time, moves smoothly and rapidly from scene to scene. I give the film an 8 for affording the audience a gratifying theatrical experience and, in addition, for giving it the opportunity to witness the extraordinary acting talents of its 3 main stars as they perform under the magical wand of its director.… Expand

One of Scorsese's best, and the relationship between Pacino and Deniro may be the real heart of the film, Joe Pesce's brilliant performance grounds the whole story.
