Stunning and Brilliant

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2002)

Raging Bull is stunning and it is indeed a masterpiece. It features the best performance ever given in any film and of course I'm talking about the greatest actor film has ever seen Mr. Robert De Niro. I wouldn't call this Scorsese's best work (I consider "Casino" to be his best) but it certainly ranks up there among the best. The acting, the story, the cinematography, the score, the directing, and the editing are all top-notch. The minute this film begins you just get so involved with the story and with the characters that can't take your eyes off it for the entire 2 hours and 9 minute running time. Raging Bull is a must see, it isn't boring, it isn't Scorsese and De Niro's worst work (far from it). This film is a stunning, brilliant, breathtaking masterpiece. I won't say anything else about the film because well, the film speaks for itself. See it, and then see it again!
Final Grade: 9/10
