One of De Niro's best

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2003)

This is one of De Niro's finest performances. As Jake La Motta, De Niro plays a prize fighter who will never realize his potential greatness due to inner demons and insecurities. The story takes you through La Motta's life as an up and coming fighter, to one of the best in the world, to his all out collapse and as an overweight club-owner who has lost everything.

The film also has an excellent supporting cast with Joe Pesci as Joey La Motta (Jake's brother) and Cathy Moriarty as Vickie La Motta (Jake's wife).
All in all, this is a great film and is a must see for every De Niro fan out there.
