Martin Scorsese assembled his own version of the Avengers for his new film The Irishman. De Niro, Pesci, and Pacino star in a mob biography for the ages—or at least it will feel that long. The hefty three-and-a-half-hour run time tracks the story of Jimmy Hoffa and Frank Sheeran, and hits Netflix on November 27. Expect pros and cons from the de-aging effects, brilliance (as always) from Pesci’s return to the screen, and doo-wop serenading you throughout. Check out The Ringer’s coverage on The Irishman below:
