The Irishman is very good.
Pacino was great in Dog Day Afternoon.

Pacino has been caricature of himself since at least “Scent of a Woman.” If he’s back to form with this, more power to him.

DeNiro ruins it for me. He only has one look. A mean scowl. To me he’s just a one dimensional actor who should have retired long ago.

If the only work Pacino had to his credit was
The Godfaher saga, that would have been enough. Other memorable roles include
Dog Day Afternoon.
Now compare Robert De Niro to one of his contemporaries, Robert Duvall.
No you can't compare them. Duvall is head and shoulers above De Niro. Duvall has such a wide range and talent, playing everything from Boo Radley in To Kill a Mocking Bird to consigliere Tom Hagen in The Godfather, to the subtle roles like Mac Sledge in Tender Mercies. What a range of talent!

The only part I had trouble with was Ray Romano as a mob lawyer.
They could have also used younger guys in the scenes that went back in the past. All the makeup in the world cannot erase thirty or forty years.

Pacino used to work at Norman Podhoretz's neocon magazine
Commentary.
Back then, though, it was a left-liberal magazine and in any case, Al was just working in the mail room.
I doubt he's any kind of a conservative, but he did two portraits of very flawed liberals - a mayor in City Hall and a PR man in People I Know.
There wasn't any conservative message, it was just that if you want to show urban corruption nowadays, the people involved are likely to be Democrats and liberals.
Serpico was another tale of urban corruption.

Honestly, Pacino peaked very very early. His three important movies are Godfather, Godfather II, and Dog Day Afternoon. Everything after that has run from OK to awful.

Pacino made a great movie about Shakespeares Richard III. I knew he was smart after seeing that.
Bobby D is an ignorant hack.

Robert De Niro. The two are frequently compared, but there is no comparison. De Niro ran out of acting ideas 30 years ago and has been coasting ever sinceDeNiro is a loser has been

The Irishman was godawful, sad to say
To: Rummyfan
Pacino and I spent about 2 hours in a room together. No one else. It was for work. The details don’t matter, but he was the nicest guy I have ever met who was “in the business” and it wasn’t close. I wish him all the best (not that he needs my help).

Al Pacino and the rest of the Hollywood millionaire elites do not matter, no matter what anyone says.
Their only contribution to society is standing in front of a camera and pretending to be someone they are not......

I watched the Irishman the other night. It was a good movie. Very long.

Always think of Sepico when Pacino is mentioned.
