- In Select Theatres and on Netflix
- Fall 2019
This legendary trio is back together, but could it be to little to late, or can they all muster up some movie magic one last time?
The Irishman, a biographical crime drama that follows an alleged hitman Frank Sheeran (Robert DeNiro) and the possible slaying of Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino). This teaser trailer can’t help but make you feel nostalgic, about all the wonderful times you’ve had watching these actors perform their craft, and when they are at their best, it’s usually in a Martin Scorsese film. As for the trailer, it looks solid. Very Goodfellas kind of vibe going on throughout it, which is never a bad sign. It’s hard to recall the last time watching Joe Pesci in anything. That’s one thing this movie has going for it, star power.
That list is too long, but whether or not this will add up to be a recipe for success remains uncertain at this point. One thing that is clear, we have several of the very best along side one of the best directors, in a mob movie nonetheless, something they all excel at. The Irishman could end up being this year’s Roma, a Netflix film that became a serious contender come Oscar season. Something tells me this could very well be a juggernaut and will have everyone talking about it long after it’s appearance as the Opening Night Film of this year’s New York Film Festival and after it drops on Netflix and select theatres sometime this fall, because if this is as good as it could be, everyone and I mean everyone will be watching The Irishman.
