More than "just a boxing film".

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2001)

This film is a classic in cinematic history. It has everything you need in a film. A superb lead performance by Robert De Niro as well as some exceptional supporting performances from the likes of Pesci and Vincient. The film is beautifuly directed by Scorcesse. It has an excellent selection of music which can often contradict the scene in a superb way which gets you thinking. The use of black and white works particularly well. The film has a great sense of loss and will touch you in quite a profound way. Quite simply one of the greatest Hollywood films of all time. AR
