De Niro should have won best actor for this before Raging Bull

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 1999)

This is the absolute best De Niro movie ever. And that's hard for me to say being the De Niro fanatic that I am. I have seen every movie ever made by this incredible actor and although many of his performances are wonderful, this is the one that can still bring me to tears every time I watch it. Just try to find a more powerful scene in any movie than the game of russian roulette that these helpless men have to play in that nasty Vietnam War. All in all, Mr. De Niro has never disappointed me, but I would be very surprised if he ever has a better movie than this.
