‘The Irishman' is Martin Scorsese's Eulogy to Gangster Cinema [Review]

October 30, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” starts off with a tracking shot down a hallway, much like the Copacabana take in “Goodfellas,” except this one ends with a close-up of a geriatric and wheelchair-bound Robert De Niro.
