Compare and Contrast with Once Upon A Time In America

Once Upon a Time in America is IMO the greatest gangster movie of all (I have only seen the full-length cut).

The Irishman is a good film, but nowhere close to the class of OUATIA.

Once Upon a Time in America is one of the best movies out there, provided you watch the right cut. It's a fantastic film.
The Irishman is actually quite dull, and certainly one of the worst gangster movies put out by Scorcese (though admittedly, that's a pretty high bar)

The Irishman is an 8/10.

Once Upon a Time in America is 11/10.
