The Irishman is very good.
Pacino was great in Dog Day Afternoon.
DDA is a good movie.
I want to watch “Irishman,” but I’m afraid DeNiro’s recent nonsense will now make his presence an annoying distraction.
I’ve always enjoyed his work, but I don’t even know if I can watch Godfather II anymore!
My wife and I watched a half hour of the Irishman and turned it off. We had anticipated it for a while and were really looking forward to it.
That said, they were incredibly successful at making the characters look real in the flashbacks to their younger days. Deniro really looked like he did 30 years ago. I don’t know how they did it. It was a LOT better than the same effect in the Tron sequel with Jeff Bridges.
Since you have seen this movie, I have a sincere question.
I’m hearing glowing praises for The Irishman, but is there anything you saw that makes this movie very different than just another take on The Godfather or The Sopranos?
Maybe that demographic audience was just ready for a new spin on an old theme. That happens.
When it comes out on 4K (or basic blu ray) I'll borrow it from my local library and hook up my headphones. Maybe I'll like it better the second time around.
Loved the Irishman. Pacino was outstanding.
DDAfternoon, yes
Panic in Needle Park is a sleeper. It is very good.
Al’s remarkable in that he manages to become whomever he’s playing, a real talent.
The best, underrated Pacino performance was in Donny Brasco. Johnny Depp and he were tremendous. But Pacino was perfection.
