Pennsylvania, 1956. Frank Sheeran, a war veteran of Irish origin who works as a truck driver, accidentally meets mobster Russell Bufalino. Once Frank becomes his trusted man, Bufalino sends him to Chicago with the task of helping Jimmy Hoffa, a powerful union leader related to organized crime, with whom Frank will maintain a close friendship for nearly twenty years.
"Im a friend of Jimmy Hoffa"
The first 45 minutes are generic, but the movie really kicks in when Al Pacino is introduced leading to a great 2nd, 3rd act and epilogue. Like any Scorsese movie, the movie is an experience in that keeps on building onto each other

Watch it, just be prepared - 3.5 hours. The movie is excellent, just feel it was a bit longer than needed, dragged scenes often killed the suspension.
Good cast, great storyline, but I kind of like the old style "Mafia" movies better. Not enough emmotions in the characters, perhaps it got something to do with the age of the cast😊
8.1
Good but nowhere near to Good fellas and Casino
