Awesome combo classic

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2013)

This movie has the full potential to go to a 10 star but as I saw it (for the second time I guess) in my college with the intro in very poor condition I have to say this only gets 8 stars. Forgetting the above shameless fact I thought the film is very good not just by the awesome performance by R. De Niro but for all the atmosphere created (the time depiction and the fact this film is in black and white (when there was already color)). If someone seeing this flick could not identify the great actors in it could be thinking this might have being a very old film. I was amazed by the quality (and very hard work) they have done portraying that specific time (and going forward as the movie progresses). It's also very interesting to look to the progression of LaMotta and his "subtle" change to his final state. A must see for everyone and in particular to all combat related fans.
