A true masterpiece in every way, shape and form.

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2015)

One of Martin Scorsese's greatest films, as well as one of Robert De Niro's greatest performances. The film tells the true story of the legendary boxer Jake LaMotta(De Niro)chronicling his rise to the top in the sport of boxing, as well as his own downfall fueled by his self- destructive rage, giving the viewer a graphic insight into one man's life. One of American Cinema's most breathtaking accomplishments, made only possible by Scorsese's genius direction and De Niro's determined ability to become the character of Jake LaMotta. An astonishing piece of pure artistic excellence within the world of cinema, that should be respected for what it is, a masterpiece.
