This movie felt a lot like re-watching The Godfather, The Taxidriver, Goodfellas, Scarface, The Untouchables and any other popular Scorsese or Coppola gangster film. It is all in one and it is definetly something we have all watched before.

It is a good film but it lacks originality.

Scorsese is doing the exact same thing he accuses other directors of doing: He takes something successful and runs it again and again, without even trying to think of something new. This movie also isn't the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being. It's just De Niro Narrating his, Pacino's and Pesci's whole career.

So, it is safe to conclude that "The Irishman" isn't cinema. I guess that's why it went up on Netflix so soon!
