    Default the irishman

    watched it last night on Netflix. I give it a thumbs up. it was a good movie to watch for people who were around in that era, but they left out a few key elements that were in the book.

    De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, Scorsese . . . .

    Best combination of people to give us “gangster life”!

    Sorta’ “replacements” for Cagney and Bogart of yesteryear.

    Great flick!

    I really liked the movie, and wish I could have seen it in a large screen format. I saw where it could be broken up into 3 hour increments, but just built a fire and watched it straight through.

    I found myself engrossed in the story, so never stopped.

    3 hours is a large block of time to budget for with other priorities.

    I recommended it to a friend and she called me back after watching it and asked me if I really believed that nonsense and I told her "it's only a movie."
