"I'm the boss! I'm the boss! I'm the boss!"

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2001)

Who can beat the director/actor tag team of DeNiro and Scorsese? The dynamic duo of the film industry had made a landmark for themselves in the boxing ring in the ever-brilliant docudrama RAGING BULL.
DeNiro portrays the real-life Italian boxing champ Jake LaMotta, whose rise to the top conflicted with his family life. Joe Pesci also stars as Jake's hard-nosed brother and manager, who only wanted the best for big brother Jake, but was met by the wrong side of a fist for his troubles. DeNiro's portrayal of Jake is explosive and terrifyingly
convincing. His grasps with emotional trauma are so reallistic that you can't help but be sympathetic to the fallen hero. And the boxing sequences are brutal beyond words. Let's just say the prize-figting in RAGING BULL makes all the ROCKY films look like a pep-talk from Mr. Rogers himself. It's that intense!
