    So, it's a bought an Irishman who paints houses, with blood. From the point of view of a blind person.

    Do, I have this right?

    Love crime movies, this looks to be the cream of the crop. Isn’t it weird that Scorsese has never directed Pacino before? That’s strange somehow but it’s always a treat to get Vito and Michael Corleone together

    This is a joke but its actually about Frank Sheeran, a corrupt union leader and professional hit man who assassinated his long time friend and famous mob figure Jimmy Hoffa.

    Now, can De Niro pass as Irish? I knew he was only a quarter Italian but I thought the rest was Jewish and he certainly doesn’t read as Irish immediately

    Well, knowing nothing about this other than what the trailer "showed", that is exactly how I interrupted the trailer.

    I've been waiting for this. Scorsese, Pacino, De Niro and Pesci all in the same film, it's going to be incredible.

    I wish the trailer showed more though.

    I can't wait. The teaser was kind of dumb considering it showed nothing

    I wonder if they're going to go with Sheeran's deathbed confession as to how Hoffa met his end.

    That’s probably the most likely considering the that the movie is named after him. However, I could also see them doing the Giants Stadium thing just because it’s an iconic myth perfect for cinema even though it has been debunked numerous times and is highly unlikely.

    Netflix is really trying, more movies that look good like this and I'll start paying more attention to them again.

    The wait for this one has been excruciating , but man oh man, did that trailer ever deliver. Got friggin' goosebumps seeing Pacino & Pesci finally sharing a scene together for the first time ever.

    It was good to see Pacino and Pesci again.

    It looks good. It’s nice to have a new Tarantino and a new Scorsese movie this year. The de-aging on DeNiro at the end of the trailer is a bit dodgy though. It doesn’t look bad, but it doesn’t look seamless either.
