Netflix 11/27/19: The Irishman with DeNiro, Pacino & Pesci directed by Scorsese

https://www.netflix.com/title/80175798

"... an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th century. Spanning decades, the film chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries and connections to mainstream politics.

The trailer

Based on the book, I Heard You Paint Houses, by Charles Brandt.

All 3 of them gave wonderful performances but I came away with the feeling that Pesci stole the show.
De Nero was fantastic, too.
