If you like fight movies and Italians you'll like this graphic biography of LaMotta, and I emphasize "graphic".

Rating: 4/10 (28 December 2006)

I not only saw RB, but worked on it as a ringside photographer/extra for weeks. It was actually a long, tedious process, but interesting to watch DeNiro work everyday. I was the guy who photographed Sugar Ray after he pulverized LaMotta (DeNiro) in the ring. Was sitting there, waiting for another scene to set up when Martin Scorsese told me to get up and do what he said.
Walk over to DeNiro, size him up in the camera, look down at the camera, then back up at him and hit the flash. It was a "bit" as they say in the business, one which I NEVER got paid one cent more for doing. As far as the movie goes, it was a vehicle for DeNiro and Scorsese. Just another fight movie to me. The real Jake LaMotta was rude, arrogant, kept to himself, and had the biggest head I've ever seen on a guy.
