Watch "6 Underground" new on Netflix. Best movie for stuntmen employment figures in ages.

We watched"The Irishman" yesterday.
While I never was a big fan of DeNiro, but it was very well done. Pacino as Hoffa was a good fit. Pesci is always great in this genre.
"... And miles to go before I sleep".
Watched it last night. Since it's a Michael Bay movie, there are a lot of fiery explosions and implausible action. I had hoped for more Ryan Reynolds wisecracks...a la Deadpool...and there were a few. Just not enough.
It is graphically violent enough to be like a big entertaining cartoon. Adria Arjona is nice to look at....kind of a Michelle Rodriguez with the odometer rolled back. Lior Raz was quite good, although I prefer him in a good guy role (like Fauda).
So, my opinion is that it's entertaining and fun to watch, but it's pretty forgettable.

I've never seen a movie where the stunt coordinator did such a detailed job of filming people flying out of cars. The scene where the dudes hit the wall was like, " WAIT, What!? " Then the, it's a baby !!!, it's a doggie!!! Was a giggle. It's not high-theater but it is charmingly absurd.

I'm thinking that most of you wouldn't like A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, but I thought it was a sweet movie. Tom Hanks did a bang-up job.
About the movie and the original story.

If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
I finally watched "The Mule" today. I thought it was great. It was less about running drugs than it was about life priorities, lost time, and the inevitability of regrets. I recall a friend complaining about it when he saw it in a theater. He was disappointed that "Clint didn't even SHOOT anyone". Well, that's true.
I like films that have a good story, well told. I'll watch the Mr. Rogers movie when it comes to streaming. I'm pretty sure it'll be good...and I'm pretty sure Mr. Rogers won't shoot anyone.
