He's become an annoying SOB
His acting chops ain't what they usta be either...
Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro in The Irishman
Is this Scorcese's worst movie?
3 1/2 HOURS OF DRECK.
3 1/2 HOURS OF DRECK.
(From Cheatsheet.com) It’s strange that Martin Scorsese is so critical of Marvel movies since he just made his own superhero movie. Robert De Niro is Irishman, the hero with the power to get young again and fight for, uh, trucking unions? Scorsese doesn’t usually make outright bad movies. Even his disappointments have something interesting or ambitious about them. The Irishman is actually a bad movie.
It’s [probably not] as bad as New York New York. Scorsese’s attempt at a musical was disastrous. The Irishman does show a self-indulgent filmmaker with too much freedom though. Studios didn’t want to make The Irishman, but Netflix gave him the money and let him release it at 209 minutes. The Irishman did not need to be such a sprawling story. This is not Once Upon a Time in America although perhaps Scorsese hoped it would be.
Scorsese assembled his regulars De Niro and Joe Pesci, but the story of The Irishman already begins at a deficit to Goodfellas or Casino. Frank Sheeran (De Niro) meets Russell Bufalino (Pesci) who takes Frank under his wing in Philadelphia crime. It begins with stolen steaks, which are not exactly Henry Hill’s mob errands or gambling schemes.
Al Pacino plays JIMMY HOFFA? Really? pulleeeeze...
SKIP THIS STINKER.
