Great performance of a great actor

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2008)

What first stroke me about this film was the way Robert De Niro's acting picked up on me. He made me uncomfortable and almost hate him because of his paranoia and the way he treated his wife and brother. Then during the fights (which are pretty intensive) he made me stand by him, expecting him to win. Latter on when he was working at his bar, he made me feel pity. Seeing it a second time two years latter all these feelings came along again. As for the rest of the movie I have to say I was to much carried away by De Niro, although I really enjoyed the background music, the acting, the editing and the movie as a whole. 8.5/10
