Ripley's movie review
De Niro was great, Pesci was very good, the fights looked painful (both in and out of the ring), the dialogue was tedious at times but felt honest. I hated the characters and I didn't really like the movie but it was so well made that I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.
Newt's movie review
Harsh, but it certainly felt realistic. And DeNiro definintely deserved his Academy nod for this one.
