as good as its gonna get

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 2004)

quite simply...fantastic!! raw power from the best in the business. de niro has never been finer and never will be as he is here! Scorsese hit the heights and gets the best out all concerned including pesci as his shadowlike brother.the various Italian American actors employed here are totally believable and put across a world where corruption and downright seediness in the boxing world are something we only imagine really happened in the early years of the sport..none of us would want to be involved in this dirty world, trust me. if you've never seen then what are you waiting for...if you've seen it stacks of times then go and watch it some more, it does get better every time .
