The JKF shyt didn’t look like a typical maffia hit tho..don’t know about that breh. If they really wanted to murk someone, it woulda been his brother Bobby who was doing the most back then
Cause Bush Sr. organized it. Then everything got covered up. There were various mafia hitmen there that day in case one of them missed. Which is why there were multiple shots that people witnessed and heard. The story they released leaves out so many details. It was def a mob hit. The fatal shot came from the sewer as the car passed. A few documentaries out there that explain everything in detail with the real footage showing the car come to a stop. Check out Everything Is A Rich Mans Trick.

Well directed but the story was lacking. I know its only so much u can do with a true story but I feel like this movie is missing a lot. It didn't grab my attention and make me care about the characters and there world like good fellas and casino. The actors all looking and sounding 95 years old cgi/no cgi don't help either. I felt like scissors being the director was what kept me engaged not the story. Great acting, good directing but a lackluster story and screenplay I give it a 6.5/10 ... Wall street shyts on this movie from a pure joy and entertainment aspect alone. The Irishman felt like I was doing scissors a favor by watching. Reminds me of having to watch shutter island and kundun.

This one is not for everyone. I enjoyed it, but if someone says they didn't like it, I can see why.


Im a bit of a history buff, so some of the shyt they showed was cool to me.

But, the biggest thing is:


You don't have a decent understand of who Jimmy Hoffa was and the power he had, I can easily see you not enjoying this flick. Its like they went into this movie expecting viewers to have a deep understanding of who he was. This movie could easily be called, The Jimmy Hoffa story told thru the eyes of The Irishman. Almost like that coward that killed Jessie James movie.


I just don't think they did enough to show the influence ole dude actually had.

You hit the nail on the head with the spoiler. It reminds me of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' by Tarantino. You really have to know the Manson story to fully appreciate the story and the plot tension.

I watched about half of it, but since I got a full house because of Thanksgiving I just said I'll wait till the weekend to give it my full attention.
