The title has Robert De Niro playing the movie's namesake character (Frank Sheeran), while Al Pacino plays Hoffa and Pesci performs as Rthe mob boss who allegedly ordered Hoffa's death. And they all appear to be in top form -- they know they're in a high-profile movie from a legendary director. The movie also includes well-known actors like Anna Paquin, Harvey Keitel and Ray Romano, just in case it wasn't already clear that this is a major movie.

This is still a gamble for Netflix when The Irishman's budget reportedly topped $200 million. The trailer suggests Netflix's trust might have been well-placed, though, and that it might be this year's Roma -- that is, the movie virtually destined to pick up some Oscars. Netflix might need a title like this, too. The service hasn't been growing as expected, and it's about to face stiffer competition from upcoming rivals like Apple TV+, Disney+ and HBO Max. A must-see movie could reduce the chances that viewers supplement or replace Netflix once these newcomers arrive.
