Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" is Interminable with Robert De Niro

"The Irishman" Martin Scorsese's latest film is an interminable regurgitation of his gangster genre made with A list geriatric stars.  Scorsese's inimitable talent as a director does not make him sacrosanct or untouchable.  "The Irishman" is an irrefutable leaden mobster mess that sinks like a stool pigeon imbedded in cement.  Scorsese calls back his winning score card cast:  De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci.  Martin must of called in favors only he didn't do his wise guy crew any favor.   Martin's montage of mobster movies does a grave dishonor to his genius in this 3 1/2 hour epic dating back to the 50s.  It should've remained unreleased rather than submit audiences to this thuggish rubbish.  The plodding plot of good fellows climbing the pecking order by following hit orders follows Frank (De Niro) as a working schlub who comes under the protection of Russel (Joe Pesci) while rising up the ranks doing dirty work for Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino).  The packed cast of  acting legends portray such poor caricatures of their former tough guy persona they come across as  pathetic.  These roles should be handed over to a new crop of actors like Jesse Plemons ("Breaking Bad") who plays Hoffa's son.  Buzz kill - Hoffa's son may or may not have been an accessory to the mystery of his missing teamster father.  The wearisome "Irishman" robbed 3 hours of my time I can't get back.  I'd complain about the cost of a ticket but I watched it for free on Netflix and still I was taken for a ride.  "The Irishman" is an interminable & abominable film that squanders the talents of its actors and taints Scorsese's irrefutable record of having made movie greats.
