The Irishman is a crime film that is based on the true story about the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, an American labor union leader. The story focuses on Frank Sheeran, his supposed killer. An elderly man living in a nursing home remembers the times when he used to be a delivery truck driver and knew nothing about the crime world. One day his life changes, and he starts to “paint houses,” and it has nothing to do with paint or houses.
