The Irishman

[Duty]

Far too cliche'd for my taste - thematically, casting wise...plus Wolf of Wall Street is probably the ugliest and most depressing film I've ever seen. I did try watching TIM yet made it only circa 5 mins in before turning it off in contempt. Ah well, horses and courses I guess.

I liked everything about it - the cast, the pacing, the script, all of it.  But what really stood out for me was Joe Pesci’s stealing every scene he was in. He projected an air of quiet menace that I found absolutely riveting. If he doesn’t win the Oscar, it’ll be a travesty.

Boru

OK, having just said that, I'm inclined to have respect for Mr Boru so I'll give it another try with a more open mind...standing at least 15 mins for sure hahaha
