The movies and the mob have made a winning combination for decades.
The Godfather,
Goodfellas,
The Departed — and that's on top of television projects like
The Sopranos. Now, Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese brings you
The Irishman, and he's put together quite a cast. Robert DeNiro plays a hit man, Joe Pesci is his boss, Al Pacino is Jimmy Hoffa, and that's before you even get to Harvey Keitel, Bobby Cannavale, Ray Romano and others. In a sign of some of the changes shaking up the industry,
The Irishman comes to you via Netflix, and is available to stream now.
