Hard to believe it's a top 100 film.

Rating: Null/10 (1 February 2003)

I'm not a big Scorsese fan, but I read so many rave reviews about Raging Bull that I decided to watch the DVD. Thirty minutes into this mess I gave up. Jake (De Niro) is a bad tempered, self-destructive jerk surrounded by other jerks. Why would anyone sit through over two hours of this? It's as depressing as watching a documentary on wife beating.
