The Irishman isn't just a movie—it's a masterpiece of cinema.Martin Scorsese delivers one of the greatest crime epics ever made, blending unforgettable performances, masterful storytelling, and a haunting reflection on loyalty, power, and regret.Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci give career-defining performances, while every scene feels deliberate and meaningful. It's a film that rewards patience and becomes even more powerful with every rewatch.A timeless classic that deserves to be remembered among the greatest films ever made.

The Irishman is Scorsese looking back without easy nostalgia. Everything is here: the rise, the loyalty, the everyday violence of the mob world, but told from a different place, more tired, more lucid. This is not a film about how fast life moves in that environment, but about how slowly everything is paid for **** much of its runtime, the story unfolds with the ease of someone who has walked this path many times before. The conversations, gestures, and rituals of organized crime feel familiar, almost comforting for anyone who knows Scorsese’s cinema. But little by little, the film shifts its focus: power matters less than what is lost along the **** tone is essential. There is no romanticism or euphoria here. Violence is part of the routine, presented without emphasis, which makes it drier and more uncomfortable. Scorsese doesn’t frame crime as spectacle, but as a series of choices that quietly close doors, one after another, often without the protagonist **** cast is in absolute top form. It’s not about individual showmanship, but about how they support one another, building a sense of time passing and a world slowly fading. There’s an almost painful calm in the performances, as if everyone knows from the start where this is **** length can be debated, but it’s hard to imagine this story told any other way. The Irishman needs time for the erosion to be felt, for silence to weigh as much as gunshots once did. It’s a crepuscular, reflective, deeply honest film.More than a recap of his career, it feels like a farewell without ceremony. Scorsese doesn’t judge, explain, or forgive. He simply watches as time inevitably takes over everything. And in that final stretch, the film reaches a rare and lasting emotional power.

first english, below spanish: english: just another gangster movie. the ambitious proposal of 'the irishman' presents itself as a narrative exercise of great magnitude, heir in spirit to the great classics of mafia cinema such as 'the godfather'. its character development is meticulous, profound, and full of nuance, while the plot, though interesting and consistent, never fully reaches the emotional depth it strives for. in terms of performances, the film shines brightly thanks to the chemistry of two legends: al pacino and robert de niro, who together achieve impeccable synergy. their presence infuses every shared sequence with magnetism, reaffirming scorsese’s ability to draw the very best from seasoned actors. visually, 'the irishman' is a spectacle of refinement. the lighting and color grading achieve technical perfection, wrapping the staging in a halo of modern classicism. the direction and screenplay, signed by a scorsese at full maturity, once again confirm his status as a master of narrative time, visual composition, and dramatic rhythm. the experience varies depending on the language: while the spanish dubbing is unconvincing, the original version with subtitles (vose) is thoroughly enjoyable, allowing the audience to grasp the authenticity and richness that the cast delivers. with an extended runtime but a balanced rhythm, the film never exhausts, though it demands patience and openness from the viewer. it is cinema that, beyond its impeccable technical craftsmanship, requires a certain affinity with the genre to be fully appreciated. in the end, 'the irishman' stands as a gangster story that, within its formal grandeur and polished craft, becomes an essential proposal for fans of the genre, while for others it may remain just another entry in the vast history of mafia films. spanish: una más de gánsteres. la ambiciosa propuesta de 'el irlandés' se presenta como un ejercicio narrativo de gran envergadura, heredera en espíritu de los grandes clásicos del cine de mafias como 'el padrino'. su desarrollo de personajes resulta meticuloso, profundo y lleno de matices, mientras que la trama, aun siendo interesante y consistente, no llega a alcanzar del todo la hondura emocional que pretende. en el terreno interpretativo, la película brilla con fuerza gracias a la complicidad de dos leyendas: al pacino y robert de niro, quienes, juntos, logran una química impecable. su presencia dota de magnetismo cada secuencia compartida, reafirmando la capacidad del cine de scorsese para extraer lo mejor de intérpretes consagrados. visualmente, 'el irlandés' es un espectáculo de gran refinamiento. la iluminación y el etalonaje alcanzan una perfección técnica que envuelve la puesta en escena en un halo de clasicismo moderno. la dirección y el guion, firmados por un scorsese en plena madurez, confirman una vez más su condición de maestro en el manejo del tiempo narrativo, de la composición visual y del pulso dramático. la experiencia varía según el idioma: mientras que el doblaje al español resulta poco convincente, su versión original subtitulada (vose) se disfruta plenamente, permitiendo captar la autenticidad y riqueza interpretativa que caracteriza a un reparto de este calibre. con una duración extensa pero un ritmo adecuado, la obra no fatiga, aunque exige del espectador paciencia y predisposición. es cine que, más allá de su factura técnica impecable, requiere afinidad por el género para ser plenamente valorado. en definitiva, 'el irlandés' es una historia de gánsteres que, dentro de su grandeza formal y de su cuidada factura, se erige como una propuesta imprescindible para los amantes del género, mientras que para otros puede quedar como una pieza más dentro de la amplia filmografía del cine mafioso.

8.5 high /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

It is too lengthy for me. And to be honest, nothings new inside it. I think the movie try to put as many typical gangsters pieces in a single story. The casts and acting also feels average except for Al Pacino performance.

The Irishman là phim hình sự sử thi ám ảnh, theo chân sát thủ già hồi tưởng về quá khứ mafia, tình bạn và những tội lỗi không thể tha thứ.

If i had to pick 1 movie to watch for the rest of my life this would be up there for one of the finalists. Its a long movie but it deserved every minute of your attention i rewatch this movie when im bored, when im happy when im tired it just never misses

Really great cast and with that cast, plus Martin Scorsese and Steven Zaillian involved, my expectations were naturally high. Very high, in fact. But right from the beginning of the film, I was brought back down to earth and it didn’t get any better from **** first, I couldn’t quite put my finger on what went wrong with this movie. Was it the awful digital de-aging? The weak soundtrack? The excessive runtime? Yes, of course. But unfortunately, it was also Martin Scorsese’s surprisingly weak direction.

This movie was just okay, it doesnt have much rewatchability or depth. Scorsese is past his prime.

The Irishman has absolutely a thrilling story despite it being long winded Martin Scorsese has certainly cooked up a delicious juicy Rib-Eye steak to remember.

Una película que es una obra maestra para los fanaticos del cine de Martin Scorsese.

What an amazing journey! "The Irishman," directed by Martin Scorsese, is a masterwork of narrative, with Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino adding their grey hair and heat to this epic crime drama. It takes 3.5 hours, but believe me, it's well worth the effort. Just don't try to keep up with the amount of cigarettes smoked or the number of bodies found. Five stars, ten out of ten; I would watch it again, maybe with a sleep in between."

One of best movies I've seen in the past few years. It really hit me deeply.

Simply a colossal. I spent three hours and a half literally stuck on this majestic piece of art directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci.

Loved The irisheman, amzing acting of DeNiro he is one of th best actors of all the time !!

Definitely would recommend this one. Perfect balance between action and drama. Killer in its category!

It’s a masterpiece. I was not prepared for how devastated I would be seeing the stories of these three men unfold. The last scene between Pesci and De Niro had me in tears. De Niro doesn’t get enough credit for his performance in this film; all his “old age” scenes were absolutely devastating. It’s a damn shame all the de-aging hullabaloo distracted from his overall performance. Beyond the obvious comeuppance that characterized the 3rd act, it was also in a sense a poignant conclusion to Scorsese’s “gangster” filmography, and almost doubles as a meditation on his own life and career within the genre that has defined him.

Surprenamant épatant "The Irishman " est à la hauteur des talents dont Joe Pesci, Pacino ainsi quedeNIro, semblent ne pas pouvoir se défaire. Malgré les absences de certains ou des rôles dans un tout autre niveau, c'est avec plaisir que nousretrouvont ces acteurs au charisme et à l'originalité faisant de ceux-ci des personnages ndistincts et singuliers, dans les rôles qui nous sont chers tels que les gangsters, etc. L'irrésistible corrélation n'est que trop tentante, Bachuss ne m'en tiendra pas rigueur, Personnagesdontv l'age ne fait rien à l'affaire, bien au contraire le film gagne en profondeur, et nous implique carrément dans un drameoù l'on oublie ces monuments du cinéma contemporain, et apprécie la complexité de chaque individus joués.

One of the most overrated films I have seen. I cannot understand the praise. The scene where an elderly Robert De Niro (with a young man's face) beats up a shopkeeper is literally one of the worst fight scenes I have ever seen.

This film is soooooo boooooring. I almost fell asleep while watching. Bruuh

Long, very long. I didn't enjoy it. I've enjoyed a lot of mafia movies and wasn't bored for a minute, but this one didn't really appeal to me and took a really long time. Slower pace. Don't really look for action here. I wasn't really won over by this film unfortunately though. The plot just didn't grab me somehow. On the one hand, it's not a bad movie. Good actors. Especially Al Pacino pleased me. It wasn't downright bad. But I was bored and unfortunately I wasn't interested throughout the movie and I like mafia themes a lot. A good film for me. That's all. Nothing less. I don't know who I would recommend it to. Perhaps only to fans of mafia movies, although I think there are much, much better pieces.

With every main character being close to 80 years old or older, NEVER in a million years did I think Scorsese had another Goodfellas/Casino level movie left in him... Boy was a wrong. Don't let the 3½+ runtime turn you away because you'll be hanging on every minute and wishing there was more movie left once the credits roll. Truly a masterpiece

Pretty poor. Boring. Nothing happens. Unless you find shock value, or any value of entertainment in mafia shootings, then you will find little value in watching this. Basically the stories of various gangsters, with zero personality, dislikeable characters that are also pretty damn boring humans. Badly acted and not worth your time. Even Cats was better than this.

The best and most underrated Scorsese film in my opinion. Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci give career best performances in this film.

the film was very good but i would extended by some time to enjoy more the scenes..

I thought this movie was reasonable. The acting is all quite good, you get stuck into the story a little. The movie was tremendously long, which I found really killed the immersion.

This is HOW you make very good films! A well thought out story, top performing performances by the actors, perfectly photographed and very well researched. A master of his craft has delivered a masterpiece here. Thank you MARTIN SCORSESE!

A great movie that presented an important era in the history of the United States of America, directed by Mumtaz and Al Pacino and De Niro started with this movie, in addition to the old Joe Beachy.. they are great in this movie

The movie that everyone can enjoy watching, Robert De Niro was excellent

WOAH. Scorsese kind of wrote his swan song with The Irishman, a 3 hours long gangster-epic, with Pesci, De Niro and Pacino in the centre, and an emotional accounting of the biggest works he did. Gets somewhat boring in the middle section, but still, it was a blast to see the life-work of a timeless genius. Best Netflix film of this year.

This is the reliable car of mob films. If you've seen a Scorsese mob film then you've seen this one. If you haven't, and have the time to invest then watch it -- just try to ignore the de-aging CGI along the way.

Of course, Scorsese delivers a stunning, gangster flick but The Irishman is so much more, a melancholy eulogy for growing old and losing your humanity. Savour every one of its 209 minutes, you won’t regret it.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

What to say ? This movie is very beautiful, unique characterizations and one of the best movies I have seen. One of the best Martin Scorsese movies With Al Pacino, Joseph Pesci, Robert de Niro, what else do you want from this film? This movie is unique For God see this Movie.

The last great american gangster movie. It's just great, those great actors back for one last movie. I rewatched it 3 or 4 times and I just keep observing new things.

The Irishman is a satisfactory movie, but no more than that. It shines through in some aspects due to it's strong cast and interesting **** for me, the duration and the quantity of stories happening at the same time, while we go back and forth in the timeline, made me get a little lost and misunderstand some points in the narrative. Talking about the timeline, another downside is that the story is too flat, meaning that, in the duration of the movie, all the stories told are very simmilar with no action or drama to make them outstand. In summary, even though, in the beggining the plot called my attention (so did the cast), the movie is not a big deal, but if you are free for a couple of hours, it can - maybe - distract you.

The ultimate gangster's epic that also works as a piece of America's history. This movie is glorious.

A beautiful story that's been well written and beautifully portraited by a talented cast. The production design, specially the cinematography and costume design, is brilliant. The actors had put their best effort to show us something new; although at some points their age is distracting both them and the audience. Despite the well resulted partnership of Scorsese and Schoonmaker, some parts of the movie suffers from bad editing.

While The Irishman is indeed another beautifully directed film by Scorsese, the film is a really perplexing film. Let me elaborate. Firstly, I really enjoyed it. It might even crack my Top 5 Scorsese films, however, as great as the story is - the movie is just way too long. With being 3hrs long, you’d have to say something could be cut, but the strange thing is - I couldn’t tell you what to cut... It’s seamless. Each scene flows, for the most part, and sure some of it drags, but it all leads up to one hell of an ending. Each component is necessary for understanding the characters - so... if you have 3 hours to spend on watching a film. Go for it. Scorsese doesn’t disappoint.

story is ok, but damn the movie is boring as hell. Too long, no action, no creativity, story doesn't move during all movie. What a deception.

From the opening shot to the final shot, Scorsese manages to captivate the audience. A team effort indeed with De Niro in the center of it all. Scorsese could have sacrificed an hour because three and a half hours is just under the runtime of Taxi Driver and Mean Streets put together. However, the ensemble cast and the music saves the movie. Another great collaboration from De Niro and Scorsese.

The Irishman. A painter who didn't paint the walls with paint. Very high cinema, if I may say so. A bit similar to Goodfellas, but this film is one level higher. The protagonist as Robert De Niro is great. You worry about him, you understand him.

You could feel the characters. The plot was real-ish and it kept your interest from beginning to end.

A fascinating watch - totally worth the 209 minute run time. There's so much to like about 'The Irishman'. From the top class performances, the ace cinematography, the excellent music and, most importantly, the captivating plot. I enjoyed this more than (the great) 'Goodfellas', which is my only previous experience of a Martin Scorsese film. Robert De Niro is always a fantastic watch and here he is no different, I absolutely loved every scene of him as Frank. Al Pacino (Jimmy) and Joe Pesci (Russell) are also superb, Pacino particularly. Away from those three, you also have Ray Romano, Bobby Cannavale, Stephen Graham and Harvey Keitel involved. Awesome cast. No idea how true to life it is, all I care is if it delivers a fantastic film - and it undoubtedly does. I felt entertained for every second. The de-aging effects are cool to see, also. I understand why some may fault this. Me? Loved it!

It just bored me, and a film with such an amazing cast and such an incredible director shouldn't.

Великолепный фильм. Пожалуй, лучший как среди снятых Мартином Скорсезе, так и вообще в жанре. Потрясающая по уровню погружения в эпоху трехчасовая экскурсия по криминальному миру через призму мировоззрения главного героя. В этом фильме прекрасно все: операторская работа, музыка, сюжет, актерская игра, атмосфера, итальянский колорит - одним словом, такие шедевры встречаются крайне редко, как золотые самородки в тоннах руды. Однозначно рекомендую к просмотру.

Stunningly! Great acting, shooting and editing. This is the case when time flies by, both for the heroes of the film and for the audience, despite the very long timing...

Love goodfellas so was high decent expectations for this. Way too long and not all that interesting.

This movie made me feel like a potato because the plot makes no kinda sense which was so dumb and disappointing but I have it a point because of the dialogue potential.

My favorite film, Scorsese know how to make a ganster movie and use his characters.
