The Irishman was my 15th Martin Scorsese film, and like so many others it gets 10/10 from me. A masterpiece of film making, with an excellent story told with such class with an amazing cast of legends Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci & Al Pacino and lovely to see Harvey Keitel get involved too. The cinematic quality with its superb, script, soundtrack and acting and possibly the greatest achievement is the mind-blowing way at which the de-aging visual effects are just stunning in there sheer brilliance. As a Netflix release, it doesn't hurt to watch it in two parts given its length, which is long, but I honestly wouldn't cut any of it. The only regret is that it marks the end of an era, given Scorsese, De Niro, Pesci & Pacino are 70 odd and Keitel now 80 years old. This film is surely already a classic, alongside The Godfather and other greats of the gangster crime genre.
