Raging Mad Cow Disease

Rating: 3/10 (23 February 2006)

Based upon Scorsese movies like Raging Bull, Casino, and Cape Fear, the typical DeNiro/Scorsese movie is A+ acting with F- directing.
It's the story/writing that makes or breaks a movie, and sadly the story/writing somewhat broke this movie, mostly because it wasn't Scorsese proof.
Although Robert DiNiro and Joe Pesci did an excellent job portraying their characters, the movie overall was very forgettable, lame and impotent. A waste of excellent acting talent. This movie is totally uninspiring, pointless, and largely unwatchable.
The fight scenes, from a shameless and unforgiving director, were very impotent. Character development, going nowheres fast. The black and white effect, completely pointless.
Whereas King Midas was able to turn everything into gold with a simple touch, Scorsese touched this movie and turned it into fecal matter.
Raging Bull at best can only be given a 3 out of 10, and mostly due to excellent acting.
