Not all women want to watch rom coms!“Who’s that?”
“What’s happening?”
“This is too long.”
Deniro, Pacino, Pescio, Keitelio - Let's call the whole thing off.
Aye the corner shop bitNot read the whole thread, but noticed the criticism of the de niro fight scene...
Is it the bit at the corner shop?
Not the best, but doesn't take away from the story.
There's a very important part of the book that isn't shown in the film.
The alleged rifle run to Texas that Sheeran seemed adamant in the book were one of the rifles used in the assassination of JFK.What bit you thinking of? It never mentioned any of his childhood,knocking out a teacher or working as a dance teacher or with the carnival.
But cant think what else major it missed out.

MS has sort of addressed this:
"Sheeran’s gun story didn’t make it into The Irishman. Scorsese did not respond to requests for comment about the theory. But in a press junket at the New York Film Festival, where the movie debuted, the director explained his decision to tread lightly. “The decision had to be made, very clear, before I read the book,” Scorsese said, first reported by Esquire. “Are we going to get into what could be considered conspiracy theories?”"
Bit odd, considering it's a conspiracy theory that Sheeran shot Hoffa, which he shows.
Yeah, Pesci even says at some point, "If they can knock off a president, they can knock off the president of a union".Right got ya. I thought they still alluded to it a lot, like saying Kennedy "knows who he owes" etc. If you're familiar with the back story you will know they are mentioning it, but if you don't know the back story it seems like it doesn't mention it.
As an aside, that David Ferrie who was given the guns for the bay of pigs invasion was also Carlos Marcellos driver, and ran an air cadets things which Lee Harvey Oswald was a part of.
Pesci player Ferrie in JFK as well, weird looking bloke!Yeah, Pesci even says at some point, "If they can knock off a president, they can knock off the president of a union".
Think Ferrie was alleged to have helped Oswald to get out of Dallas after the shooting as well.

At the risk of derailing the thread slightly, in my opinion, it was 100% the mob who bumped off JFK. Trafficante, Marcello, Giancana, Jack Ruby "the concerned citizen" able to eliminate Oswald, how do you do that without police allowing you to. How does a normal citizen get that close to a murder suspect. Everything about it comes back to the mob. The connections between people like Oswald-Ferrie-Marcello etc. Means, Motive, Opportunity.
Edit: when i say, "by police allowing you to" i don't mean they done it out of a sense of justice and retribution. They done it as they were paid off to allow him to get in there
His accent was painfulI know Stephen graham is a top actor but I couldn’t help expecting him to just start kicking off in a scouse accent in the prison scene.
