Mob Movie Monday: The Irishman | Michael Franzese

Today on #MobMovieMonday, Michael will weigh in a Scorsese film, The Irishman. Based on Charles Brandt’s 2004 nonfiction book I Heard You Paint Houses, The Irishman is a 2019 American epic crime film directed and produced by Martin Scorsese.  After working for Teamster Jimmy Hoffa, Frank Sheeran (De Niro) becomes a hitman for mob boss Russell Bufalino (Pesci) (Pacino).  This is Scorsese’s ninth collaboration with De Niro, his first with Pacino, and the fourth film in which both De Niro and Pacino appear in starring roles (after The Godfather Part II, Heat, and Righteous Kill).
