Within the last couple of years, Netflix has started to put out their own TV shows and movies. However, it’s their most recent movie that’s been gaining a ton of buzz lately. Over the summer, it was announced that we were going to get the Irishman on Netflix. The cast of this movie is basically a “who’s who” of crime movies. The cast is Robert DiNiro, Joe Pesci, Al Pacino, and Harvey Kitel. There are others like Ray Romano, Steven Van Zandt, and Jim Norton to name a few. It is also directed by Martin Scorsese.

My first thing to say is be prepared to sit their for a long time. The run time for the movie is over three hours. This movie will be the best movie that you will see. As it was mentioned before the cast in this movie is great. While watching this movie, i realized that the cast for this movie was perfect. You could not have done this movie with anyone else. DiNiro, Pesci, and Pacino all play off each other perfectly. It’s worth mentioning that you end up seeing them on the screen the most. While the cast was great, there were other components of this movie that makes it a must see. The story telling is perfect. The story that Martin Scorsese tells the audience is a simple one. You have this guy, Frank Sheeran. He becomes a major player with the unions with having underlying ties to the mob. He ends up becoming friends with Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino), who takes his under his wing.

Since the movie takes place during the 1960’s and 1970’s, the scenery is time accurate. In a interview that Martin Scorsese did, this was one of the things he wanted to make sure of.

I highly recommend this movie as it is done amazingly well. Like I said before, just be prepared to be sitting for a while.
