I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a biopic of Middle Weight Champion of the World, Jake Lamotta who fought from 1941-1954. The film opens up with his testimony to congress under the Kennedy years and flashes back to his teens when he first became a fighter. It then jumps to 1967, 68, then 1982, skipping the whole reason why he was famous.Most of the film takes place after his retirement. It shows a man attempting to avoid working for the mob while having all mob friends. He lived his life with two regrets: The kid he killed as an amateur and the fight he threw to Billy Fox.The acting was great. William Forsythe was convincing even through that transition from teen actor playing him , to his adult self wasn't smooth because the younger self didn't look nothing like William Forsythe.Story about a boxer without much boxing.Guide: F-word. Stripper nudity.

Academy Award for William Forsythe. He was believable and played the part to a T. De Nero should take some acting lessons from Forsythe., and a damn good movie. The Continuity seemed a little shaky at times, therefore I couldn't give it a 10. I learned a lot more about Jake Lammata, than I did with Raging Bull. I would Highly Recommend this movie if you are a fan of Boxing.

I watched this movie that had some fairly well known actors in it and you would think it was their first role, the acting was so awful and wooden it beggars belief, the directing and producing was also equally awful, this had the potential to be so much better and it fails on every front, the story is all over the place, it jumps from one gap in Lamotta's life to another without bringing any of the parts to a meaningful conclusion, in the end you just give up with trying to follow it and feel like one of Lamotta's opponents, thoroughly demoralized and beaten.2 out of 10, don't bother watching, Go and re-watch De niro's raging bull

The timeline is all over the place giving extremely vague details about what happened between the his boxing career. Very depressing, which is fine. Yet, with exceedingly poor attempts to be uplifting. This movie is more about making the audience pity a washed up drunk who doesn't turn his life around until his late 50's and still this film fails to tell that story. The courtroom scene leads you to believe it's a story about a boxer who got mixed up with the mafia, but then never really delves back into that plot. This is the most poorly told biography I've ever seen in film, it was trying to reach a multitude of platforms to express the life of an ex Middle Weight Champion and utterly disappoints on every one of those fronts. Spare yourself of this 94 minute waste of time, 94 minutes I wish I could have back.
