Brutally real

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2008)

Oh, man, this was a wonderful movie! I've seen it six times. Robert De Nero is great in this movie. I wish we could see him do more of this kind of stuff, although his recent comedies are pretty funny too. Jodie Foster is one of my favorite actresses and this is the movie that kicked it all off. Harvey Keitel, as always, is very good. And it was great to see Albert Brooks in the movie! The director, Martin Scorsese rocks. Paul Schraeder's screenplay is tight and brutally honest. I really like the score too. The New York street scenes were all very real and gritty.
I don't know why they haven;t decided to do a sequel. I think it would attract a large audience, because of the enormous following that the movie has already.
This is on heck of a movie.
