Scorsese knows his art, that's for sure, but maybe he shouldn't do any mafia films anymore. I mean, the Irishman had nothing original. Through-out the film it constantly reminded me of other mafia movies again and again. I wasn't surprised by anything and to be honest I stopped it half-way, because I was bored. I mean, I already knew its characters from other mafia movies, and I already knew what would happen next. Skip it if you have already watched many mafia films.
