Mob Movie Monday: The Irishman | Michael Franzese

Based on Charles Brandt's 2004 nonfiction book I Heard You Paint Houses, The Irishman is a 2019 American epic crime film directed and produced by Martin Scorsese.  After working for Teamster Jimmy Hoffa, Frank Sheeran (De Niro) becomes a hitman for mob boss Russell Bufalino (Pesci) (Pacino). 

This is Scorsese's ninth collaboration with De Niro, his first with Pacino, and the fourth film in which both De Niro and Pacino appear in starring roles (after The Godfather Part II, Heat, and Righteous Kill).

It was comical when Bruno says "is this the kid" and they're talkin about a 70 year old Deniro standing there 😂😂😂😂😂

The final 30 minutes of this film is absolutely brilliant. Nobody watching it can say it glorifies that life. It's the ending that Godfather 3 wanted to be. The biggest punishment for these guys is outliving anyone they cared about, cut off from the ones that are still alive, looking towards death, not even sure if you are capable of deserving of God's forgiveness or if you even want it and alone

[sirfredrickeggenhauser]

Imagine watching this in the theater and next to you an old Sicilian guy is laughing saying “this is so true” 😅

[juans]

For me this movie felt like a love letter and a farewell to the generation of mob films most of us enjoyed watching from the last 30 years. The actors we loved mixed with a few new faces like Bobby Cannavale and Stephen Graham. Heck even Sil Dante was singing in the movie. Just when you thought he was out...

[Lair]

I know some people don’t like this movie for one reason or another, but I find myself coming back to it again and again. I think I’ve probably seen it 5 times. Every performance is just great and it feels really authentic. One of my favorites.

[chosenonez]

No way Pacino overacted...he was brilliant...especially the "you're late" scene with Stephen Graham

[benfearnow]

I'm dying at that 1-second blip of Joe Pesci's hair lit on fire in Home Alone: "a big departure from his normal crazy roles" 🤣🤣

[roganroberts]

De Niro’s old man waddle when he’s beating the shopkeeper up, is a bit unintentionally funny.

[chadchelo]

Hoffa was a personality, and frankly an act himself. That’s why it seems like Pacino might be over-acting, when in reality he is nailing this role

[FastEddie]

Pacino is not going to overact in a Scorsese film. Great review Michael. My favourite scene was Russell telling frank that’s he’s putting him on the Jimmy hit. Even though it never happened and who am I to doubt what you say happened.

[neiljameson]

The scene with pesci and de Niro when there old in prison is heartbreaking.. Like they both knew they would never see each other again 💔💔

[powerfuldickcheese]

One thing that really impress me about Michael is that he is always polite and thoughtful in all his videos. He's a top cat in my books. Respect.

[roymunson]

Phenomenal acting from a trio we may never see on screen together again, directed by one of the top 3 directors ever. The you're late scene is 10/10 and was mostly improv just like Pesci's funny how scene in Goodfellas.

[georgecahill]

Mike that Pesci scene with him sitting there quietly is probably my favorite scene in the film. The way he’s sitting there is so calming and has a caring respectful feel to it. Pesci is amazing.

[DJRyanWatts]

I love how Michael walks the fine line of opening up but also sticking to not saying too much as not to throw anyones names around.

[zacharystranahan]

The Irishman has become on of my favorite movies. I could watch it 3x a week and still not get tired of it. And I agree, Pacino stole every scene he was in, and those four scenes definitely stand out the most in the film. That scene where Anglo Bruno is asking Sheehan about the linen place brought me back to my grandfather who was very important to me. He always carried himself just like that everywhere he was. He told me something that still sits with me today. "If you act like you own the place, people think you do." People always respected him, and when someone would raise their hand at him it was the last time they ever did. It's rumored he was connected, though we never have been able to prove it. I do know he too was involved in a gas racket. And came close to going away because of it. Though he shook the right hands.

[elektrahow]

I never hear Stephen Graham get a mention in this film, he was fantastic as Tony Pro, such an underrated actor

[stproducciones]

Other youtubers: don't worry fans, eventually I'll finish my series of reviews on every single Tony Hawk game
Michael: don't worry fans, eventually I'll reveal who shot Jimmy Hoffa

[MIXTAB]

I love when Bruno goes “ you got a good friend here, you don’t know how good of a friend you got here”

Bobby d goes “yeah i know”

And Bruno says “no! No you don’t know!”

Hahahahahaha made me laugh

[numbskulI]

The scene with Russell and Fat Tony, at Frank's dinner. "He said that?"..."He said that..." short but amazing.
