Scorseses movies: watch one and you know them all. The director is a man of perfect sets but not a storyteller. Without a good screenwriter at his side he's lost.

Similar to other - better - movies of S, such as 'Goodfellas' or 'Casino', 'The Irishman' is a increasingly boring succession of scenes, without any common thread.

As already mentioned by others, cutting 1.5 hours from this tedious piece wouldn't harm at all. In addition Al Pacino and his endless ranting is a tremendous miscast, whereas de Niro as always offers his usual frown, but nothing else.

The high rating of IMDb is incomprehensible, and has to be a bow to the big names.
