The Irishman Storyline
Now in the waning years of his life, the feeble octogenarian, Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran–a former meat driver; powerful president of Local 326 of Delaware’s Teamsters Union; ruthless racketeer, and mob hitman–finds himself confined to a wheelchair, forgotten in a nursing home in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Weary but still as-silent-as-the-grave, Sheeran recounts his pivotal first murder; his ties to the notorious Bufalino crime family; the assassination of John F. Kennedy; the energetic crusade of the Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy, and his alleged connection to the murder of the American labour union leader and President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Jimmy Hoffa. Now, reconciliation is the only means to salvation. What’s it like to be the last man standing?

The Irishman Movie Reviews
I love Scorsese and all the great mobster flicks, but this one is OVERRATED…
I love all the films of this genre– Casino, Once Upon a Time in America, Goodfellas, Godfather, Mean Streets, Scarface, The Departed, Carlito’s Way, Taxi Driver, etc. Scorsese makes some awesome epics, and I like a wide variety of other directors and their films in this vein. However, I find the hype and the hooplah around this one to fall a bit flat. I am sure I will receive some hate for this opinion, but this movie is nowhere near the level of Goodfellas or Scarface.
1) The Run Time= I am fine with a 3.5 hour movie, but it needs to be great enough to fill that amount of time. I mean, at least 60-75% of it should be amazing. This movie is WAY TOO LONG for no reason. I can think of about 5 scenes that could be cut or condensed that did nothing to further the plot.
2) The Aging and De-Aging of Actors= This was actually very distracting from the movie, and made me laugh in several scenes. Was this really NECESSARY? It seemed cheap and corny, and it really takes away from the movie instead of helping it. Wouldn’t it be better to just get younger actors to play the really young scenes of DeNiro, Pesci, Pacino, etc??? No one is buying the age of these guys, even with CGI technology and effects. It ruined the belief of the moment.
3) Pesci looked 139 years old throughout the movie, even in scenes where he is supposed to be young.
4) Harvey Keitel’s talent and presence was greatly wasted, as I barely remember anything that he did or said.
5) The Women= the ladies are mentioned at the start of the film by name, and then become completely irrelevant to anything that goes on for 3 hours. They were extremely underdeveloped. This was one thing that complimented Goodfellas well- Ray Liotta’s wife was always in the mix, or screwing something up, or threatening to kill him, etc.
6) Lack of Suspense or Action= This movie became very run-of-the-mill boring after an hour or so. Nothing surprised me, nothing was exciting, and the action is so neutered and far between that I forgot I was watching a gangster flick. I can still remember Pesci stabbing a guy in the throat with a pen in Casino, or Scarface’s last stand, or the beatings given out in Goodfellas. This movie barely had ANY MEMORABLE SCENES that stand out. The only great ones were a couple of really quick and realistic shootings of guys on the street or in an eatery by DeNiro.
7) Pacino as Hoffa= He doesn’t even resemble Hoffa at all, and neither do other people portraying certain characters. Robert Kennedy comes to mind as well.
This is a decent movie, with great production values, classic actors, a legendary director, and nostalgic music with a great soundtrack. However, I just think a 8 or 9 rating is BS for this project. EVERYONE IS SIMPLY SAYING WHAT THEY ARE TOLD TO SAY, just like every other overhyped movie or author or artist. It is a good movie, but far from a masterpiece, or Scorsese’s crowning achievement, despite what everyone says.
Scarface, Goodfellas, Godfather, Departed= all light years beyond this movie, and with a shorter run time. This film needed to be tightened up and given some better scenes. It is interesting, but overbloated and overhyped due to the cast and director– which can do no wrong in the minds of the average critic or average joe.
Expertly crafted…just not the sort of film I love.
When you read my review for “The Irishman”, please keep in mind that I am not a big fan of gangster movies nor am I a huge fan of director Martin Scorsese. It’s not that I think the movies are terrible and I know that Scorsese is a great director…but I never would have even seen the film had it not been featured at the Philadelphia Film Festival this past October.
The film is a very long saga about the live of Frank Sheeran, a real life mobster who brutally murdered quite a few people. At about 3.5 hours, the story did keep my interest…though I do think about 30 minutes could have been shaved off the story. This is my only complaint about the film….and it’s minor. On the plus side, while the film is very violent, it’s not as intensely violent as some of Scorsese’s other pictures….though it’s hardly in the category of his brilliant flop, “Hugo”!
Nearly as good as the best
As a massive fan of Scorsese’s older gangster movies like GOODFELLAS and CASINO I was eager to see this film, which can be termed a real successor to those all-time classics. While it’s not quite on par with those 1990s efforts, it’s still a very good and very well made picture that’s easily Scorsese’s best in the last twenty years or so; a massive improvement over THE WOLF OF WALL STREET and HUGO in any case.
De Niro gives a taciturn performance as the leading gangster and hitman, while Scorsese has done the remarkable job of bringing the great Joe Pesci out of retirement one last time and also stuck the legendary Al Pacino into the picture too. The production values are exemplary and the de-ageing effects more than adequate, although the story takes a little while to get going. The situation with Hoffa really escalates into some powerful moments at the climax. Clearly the work of an older director, this explores themes of regret, violence and ageing with a dark heart at its centre.
