There are so many good reviews that this is something different.

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2013)

In the late 70's I was working in a record store. A friend told me he was going to open his own store renting VHS tapes. When I saw him a year later he was driving a Jaguar. His father left the corporate world and the two ran three or four local movie rental stores until Blockbuster Video came to town. DeNiro and Scorsese are big brand name box office stars in consumer America. I purchased Raging Bull on DVD at a Big Box Store (Many would stream it today via Netflix. I'm a little behind on the technology) along with some Budweiser and Ben & Jerry's. The movie has all the elements we expect: plot and character and setting, rising and falling action, ideas and revelations and reversals, etc etc. The craftsmanship was excellent. A plot summary would be heresy here. It was a first-rate product. I enjoyed watching it, may watch it again (why not?), and am ready to watch another movie tomorrow night because I have the day off work for the 4th of July long weekend holiday (today is July 4, 2013).
