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

The Irishman. A painter who didn't paint the walls with paint. Very high cinema, if I may say so. A bit similar to Goodfellas, but this film is one level higher. The protagonist as Robert De Niro is great. You worry about him, you understand him.

There's so much to like about 'The Irishman'. From the top class performances, the ace cinematography, the excellent music and, most importantly, the captivating plot. I enjoyed this more than (the great) 'Goodfellas', which is my only previous experience of a Martin Scorsese film.

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.

No idea how true to life it is, all I care is if it delivers a fantastic film - and it undoubtedly does. I felt entertained for every second. The de-aging effects are cool to see, also. I understand why some may fault this. Me? Loved it!… Expand

Here they are not always believably playing young(ish) men some of the time. If this was just a gangster flick, it would not be a great one, but it is memorable because it is more than that. 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

Offworld_ColonyFeb 19, 2020

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

The 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 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

You care about characters at the end. The story isn't like goodfellas where the central protagonist is shown like he works for mob for money and not be a mob but in this movie its purely mob story and not the same mob story we were being told in every mob movie. All the critics did not give a single negative review. But many audiences are giving bad ratings.… 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

He does an impersonation of himself as a young man but he is moving like old man. I can't believe people are really watching the whole thing, they must be fast-forwarding through parts of it and not telling anyone. I have that same feeling about this movie that I had after watching any of the Star Wars 1,2,3 that Lucas went back and made.

It is a movie about white men killing white men. There are no women, no blacks, no other ethnicities but Italians (even the “Irishman” is played by an Italian). Movies like this have littered the film landscape for 38 years since 1972’s The Godfather (which did the same thing but so much better, mainly because the genre was new). On a broader brush I say: Scorsese and Tarantino and the ilk should no longer have the power to make their pointless glorification of murder stories. It is long past time to let new voices with new visions into the boys club of directing and producing movies. I am a movie lover fed up with decades of stories about murderers. Make it stop. Find some better stories. And story tellers.… Expand

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.

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

DeNiro and Pacino are miscast. Frank Sheehan and Jimmy Hoffa were of Irish heritage. The likes of Liam Neeson would have been more appropriate as Sheehan. The middle section is repetitive and concentrating on Hoffa so much throws the movie off balance. Pacino in a bad hairpiece chewing the scenery doesn’t help. Bringing in the Kennedys etc has Scorsese treading into James Ellroy’s Underworld Trilogy territory. The female characters in the movie are afterthoughts.
