Raging Bull

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 1999)

Hard hitting, high voltage motion picture from Martin Scorsese about middleweight champ Jake LaMotta with DeNiro (in an Academy Award winning performance) creating a brilliant study of brutality and torment in and out of the ring. There's great support from Pesci and Moriarity, but most impressive are the supercharged boxing scenes, which are by far the best ever filmed. A cinematic triumph for all involved!
