There is MUCH to praise about Marty’s latest grand spicy meatball (unbelievable sets and costumes! DeNiro is best when he is quiet! Pacino is even bester when he’s loud! And dancing with women!!  Tommy The Tit IS the tits!! Lums!!! that’s what happened to Jimmy Hoffa?? Do I still need to see the Jack Nicholson Hoffa now?? The ‘I know you’re up to no good‘ stare of the young daughter that eventually grows up to become the ‘I know you’re up to no good‘ stare of Anna Paquin!). And there is little to dismiss. Sure, it doesn’t pack the intense dramatic swings and badda-blams that Goodfellas or Casino did, and yeah, the runtime isn’t fully justified – the last half hour needed to be condensed into about 3 minutes, but I’m not here for any of this. I’m here to mention one thing…
Joe Pesci unforgettably played eerily-eye-browed conspirator David Ferrie in Oliver Stone’s JFK
and in The Irishman, Joe Pesci does not play David Ferrie (a guy named Louis Vanaria does), but he namechecks Ferrie as someone DeNiro needs to meet up with – ‘a fairy named Ferrie‘
and this full circledness is my (movie world) everything
Verdictgo: Jeepers Worth A Peepers
Irishman gets lucky on your Netflixing machinesÂ
and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
