Product: Mean Streets (1973)
Rating: 2.0
Slow....
This movie had some great performances by Harvey Keital and Robert DeNiro. I really like the Scorcese combinations with DeNiro but this one just doesn't cut it. This Scorcese film seemed like a practice session of directing until he got into his more later works. In this movie DeNiro plays a wild young man who is trying to still find acceptance and trust in his older and much wiser collegue and caretaker(Keital), but this movie should not be in any mob movie collector unless you just want it cuz everyone else says so. This movie doesn't really hold up in today's movies. I mean i really appreciate other movies made during this era...like Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver,Chinatown, etc......Those movies should all be in any collector's collection. This movie is slow and the only thing that gives it a glimmer of interest....is the acting done by DeNiro and Keital......Buy this movie if you want to finish your DeNiro collection.....but that should be the only reason you buy it for.
