The Irishman (2019)

 Yes, I know.  Good God, another Scorsese Gangster film?!  Yes, it treads old ground.  Yes, Pacino, De Niro and Pesci are too old.  Yes, its too long.  But, hey its well done, and you sorta get used to 75 year old Pacino and De Niro pottering around, and being digitally enhanced to look 45-50 instead of 80.  And great set design. It really gives off a 1940s and 1950s vibe.  Summary: It would've have been better, if it'd been made 25 years ago and  30 minutes shorter, but that didn't happen.  While not up to the level of Goodfellas, Raging Bull,  or Casino it was still enjoyable.  Rating ***
