by far the BEST boxing film and one of the best American films ever made!!!

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2001)

This film really shows the boxer Jake La Motta´s life without a false note like in "the hurricane".The editing by Thelma Schoonmaker is fantastic(he won a Academy Award for it)and the direction by Scorsese is great.The boxing scenes are powerful and by far the best boxing scenes ever made.

You can simply just say one thing about Robert De Niro´s acting: SUPERB.He´s acting is excellent.It has such a power and I think that this is he´s best role.This film is a masterpiece and one of the best American films ever made.5/5
