Before the 2019 film "The Irishman", which was distributed by Netflix, the two icons Martin Scorsese and Al Pacino never had a true chance to work together. They had discussed various projects through the years, but for a number of reasons they didn't make a movie together. Scorsese has been trying to get Al Pacino in one of his movies for almost 50 years.

"The Irishman", besides being a film directed by Martin Scorsese, is one that was written by Steven Zaillian and based on the book "I Heard You Paint Houses" by Charles Brandt. It has been 'Rated R' for pervasive language and violence. The film's stars are Robert De Niro (Frank Sheeran), Al Pacino (Jimmy Hoffa), Harvey Keitel (Angelo Bruno), and Joe Pesci (Russell Bufalino). It features Jesse Plemons (Chuckie 0'Brien), Anna Paquin (Peggy Sheeran), Bobby Cannavale (Felix 'Skinny Razor' DiTullio), Stephen Graham (Anthony Provenzano), and Jack Huston (Robert F. Kennedy). Other actors are Dascha Polanco, Kathrine Narducci, Domenick Lombardozzi, Ray Romano, Aleksa Palladino, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jake Hoffman, Paul Ben-Victor, Stephanie Kurtzuba, Larry Romano, and Rebecca Faulkenberry.

Left behind by the world, former hit man and union truck driver Sheeran looks back from a nursing home on his life's journey through the ranks of organized crime: from his involvement with Philadelphia mob boss Russell Bufalino to his association with Teamsters union head Jimmy Hoffa, to a rift that forced him to choose between the two.
