Review: The Irishman... The man who killed Jimmy Hoffa?

[Flopper]

The story of Frank Sheeran, Hoffa's right hand man, and just as importantly, Sheeran was the liason connection to the Bufalino crime family and Hoffa's control of the Teamsters $billion pension fund.

This is the story Frank told a book publisher upon his nearing death.The story, though not wholly proven, has significant corroboration with facts investigators discovered after looking into his confession But is also disputed by other publications.
We will never know for sure if what Frank says is true since every person involved is long dead.
But it makes perfect sense, and also aligns with facts not made public by authorities looking into Hoffa's disappearance.

The movie itself, directed by Martin Scorsese, is very well done. Huge cast of major stars... absolutely worth watching, looong but doesn't feel as long as other movies half it's length.

True or untrue, you decide.

Worth watching but it was overhyped. De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, and Keitel have all made better movies.

They could have cut it by two hours, and cut out several of the redundant union meeting scenes. Thank god for Netflix and the pause button. It would have been painful to watch in a theater.

I understand the first cut was a lot longer
