On a lazy weekend evening, you have the rest of the day all for yourself to kill, with a bottle of Scotch in your hand. 'The Irishman' will definitely be your perfect company to savour.
Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro), a World War 2 veteran, narrates his time as a hitman. "Painting the house" as they call it, Frank does the hitman jobs for Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci), the head of North Eastern Pennsylvania Crime Family and Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino), the head of International Brotherhood of Teamsters in the 50s to 70s. Hoffa gets into trouble when President JFK's brother, Attorney General Robert F Kennedy arrests him. While President Nixon grants him a conditional pardon, Hoffa does things that does not go well with other crime families.
The movie runs for a 3.5hrs and if you enjoy the language of the 60s/70s and a fan of De Niro and Al Pacino, you will have a blast watching this. The plot as such is complex with too many supporting characters, happening over a 30-year period. Yet, the screenplay keeps us interested throughout with its twists and turns happening in the lives of Sheeran - Russell-Hoffa trio. Another noteworthy element is the deep-fake of the characters' younger versions that is seamless.
Go for it!

3.5 years since the date of its announcement, this movie finally got to see the light of day. Overcoming various struggles in making and release, the team had managed to sustain the expectation levels high throughout this phase. Whether the movie lives up to it is a big question mark.
Raghu (Dhanush) is an Engineering student at Chennai who falls in love at first sight with actress Lekha (Megha Akash) who comes to his college for a shooting. Surprisingly, Lekha also falls for him since the beginning and they get along. Lekha's guardian Guberan has other plans of making a fortune out of her acting career and is not ready to let her go. When Lekha decides to settle with Raghu, Guberan threatens Raghu's family and she has no other option but to give up her love interest. After 4 years, Lekha calls Raghu and informs him that she and Raghu's estranged brother Thiru (Sasikumar) are in trouble and she needs him to come to Mumbai. What happens at Mumbai and how Raghu manages to solve the crisis is the plot.
For 2.5 hrs, the audience get a claustrophobic attack of getting stuck in Dhanush's mind-voice.While Gautam Vasudev Menon's movies are known for the narration through the protagonist's mind-voice, this one has done it to death! While the first half was bearable because of the songs and the excitement of audience, the second half goes all over the place, lacking content and direction. The director has literally mocked the audience by showing how Dhanush escapes the gun shots because of his belt buckle and a key (?)! This is just one of the too many irking sequences in the movie. Sasikumar as a cop trying to deliver dialogues in English didn't gel too well. Darbuka Siva is the only saving face with his fresh rendering of music and BGM.
The hero keeps saying that he needs to shift from Auto Pilot mode to Beast mode to Death Wish mode. But the audience had been granted with Death Wish, by default!

Yes, you read it right. As bold and on the face it gets, the series is also made with such raw content, in a coming of age and an interesting fashion. This 2-season series definitely belongs to the category where you just cannot stop with one episode and you end up binge-watching all the episodes!
James, a 17-year old who is convinced that he is a psychopath, is bored of killing animals and wants to kill a human. He meets Alyssa, another 17 year old rebellious girl who has family and social issues. They decide to run away from their town. En route, they end up committing a murder and they are on the run from there on. How they manage to escape the law and whether they both have a future together is the plot.
Every episode here is just 20-25 mins long and the makers have managed to pack enough elements to keep us engaged in duration. The addition of the third main character Bonnie who wants to kill both James and Alyssa makes season 2 even more racy and addictive.
A must watch for the 'Netflix n Chill' folks.
