Classic

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2004)

"You f*ck my wife? You f*ck my wife?" One of the holy greats from Scorsese/De Niro, this is Rocky fed through reality. A great boxer becomes a great bum - that's the pitch. Never mind the stories about De Niro's weight gain - look at the performance, look at the people around him, look at the direction. A genuine classic of cinema.
