I have no doubts that The Irishman is going to deliver on every level for Scorsese fans, but the only thing that bugs me is that with Netflix's monster budget, they still filmed entirely in New York. They should have found some locations around Detroit and Scranton that still look mid 20th century. The Hoffa story is a midwestern story, not a NY story. I'm sure they filmed in part of New York that resemble Northeast Pennsylvania and The D good enough, though. After all, all of Casino was filmed in Vegas, even the midwest scenes. A lot of Goodfellas was filmed in Toronto, seamlessly. Someone as good as Marty could make it work.


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
