Review of The Irishman

The Irishman (2019)
1/10
Great Movie If Made in 1990
1 December 2019
The Irishman is old stuff, told in the same old way, with the same old actors. I expected something else. Not this. It is slow. Now slow burns are a thing. But it should break new ground. Remember Eastern Promise. This didn't. It's so long. Wonder how peeps will sit through it in cinema halls with no pee break. Frankly, the movie reads like a page from Wikipedia. Straight-laced with no sense of humor. And if you may, it looks like The Sopranos but without the understated humor, raw power and great acting. And what was Anna Paquin doing in the movie. She could have continued her invisible existence elsewhere. Finally, if you give this movie a miss, no probs.
