Rating: Null/10 (4 May 2003)

SPOILERS herin.........When i heard that Robert De Niro won an oscar for his perfomance i Raging Bull, and saw I on th shelves at Roger's, I decided hey why not. It knocked ME out. De Niro plays Jake La Motta, a boxer whose life causes violence inside and outside of the ring. We are taken on quite a journey through Jake's life, meeting dramatic and shocking moments at each turn. The effects are startling and spectacular, as Jake pounds the crap out of each of his opponents to rise to the top. Joe Pesci plays Joey, the champ's brother and coach. He does a surprising job in his role, showing that although he worked on a few memorable gangster films following this movie (those films also co staring De Niro and Frank Vincent, ironicly) he is capable of doing other work. Back to effects. The boxing fights in this movie make Rocky look like pre school, man they are intense! It's no wonder that La Motta was nick named the Raging Bull. Once you see De Niro getting hit, you can feel it in your bones that he is going to make the other guy pay. Except for the final fight, where Jake makes a powerful point. To top off this exceptional movie we are given a rich musical score. The main music theme played in Raging Bull is a perfect match for what happens with the story. Overall if anyone enjoys powerful drama, almost even more powerful action, and a few gags here and there, rent Raging Bull. This is a title not to be missed by any fan of the genres listed. 9.4/10
