The Irishman (2019), directed by Martin Scorsese, is an epic crime drama that spans several decades, following the life of Frank Sheeran, a mob hitman. Based on the true story told in the book I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt, the film explores Frank’s deep involvement with organized crime, particularly his relationship with infamous figures like Jimmy Hoffa and mob boss Russell Bufalino. As Frank reflects on his life, the film delves into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the moral consequences of a life of violence.

The movie is notable for its use of de-aging technology on its cast, including Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci. These performances bring gravitas to the story, with each actor delivering a compelling portrayal of their respective characters. The Irishman is a slow-burning, introspective film that examines the toll that a life of crime takes on the soul, with a focus on regret and the inevitable passage of time.
