Recently Martin Scorsese publicly criticized Marvel films. The irony is that his latest film is sort of an Avengers of gangster films. He assembled a cast of every actor to ever be in a hit mob film.

Unfortunately this movie also reveals why Mr. Scorsese may have been motivated to make those remarks. This film went straight to Netflix, partly because audiences would never have sat through this three and a half hour snoozefest in a theater.

At times this film was downright laughable. There's just nobody believing that a 76 year old Robert De Niro is putting fear into anybody. The guy looks like he can barely control his bowels. He's not tossing anyone through a window. And the attempts to use CG to make these geezers look younger was almost SyFy network bad.

If you have to smell it for yourself, fine. But "The Irishman" is a hard pass from me.
