A classic that has everything to do with the capacity of even highly successful men to cope with life in general, and women in particular.

Consensus: Arguably Martin Scorsese’s and Robert De Niro’s finest film, Raging Bull is often painful to watch, but it’s a searing, powerful work about an unsympathetic hero.
Theatrical Release: 17-08-2007
Synopsis: With RAGING BULL, Martin Scorsese's personal approach to filmmaking is taken to a whole new level. Shooting in a crisp black and white, Scorsese tells the story of middleweight boxer Jake La Motta, played with incredible intensity by... [More]

Reviews for Raging Bull
De Niro and Joe Pesci are impeccable and Cathy Moriarty is iconically sexy.

Top Critic This savagely authentic film about flawed masculinity is worth seeking out for another viewing if the summer’s toothless blockbuster fodder is getting you down.

Top Critic
Top Critic Martin Scorsese’s luminous study of a man at war with his own nature remains undimmed after almost 30 years.

This film does more than make you think about masculinity, it makes you see it -- in a way that's relevant to all men, not just Bronx boxers.

Top Critic
Every swirling camera movement, every distinctive angle, has a real reason for existing in this story of world middleweight boxing champ Jake La Motta.

Top Critic
Top Critic Widely acclaimed as both the greatest film of the 1980s and of its director, Martin Scorsese, this is one of a select handful of films that everyone should see.

De Niro is always absorbing and credible, even when his character isn't.

Top Critic If you've never seen Raging Bull, it's nowhere near as artwank as you've been led to believe.
07/30/08
Paul Schrader and Mardik Martin turn in a soulful and intelligent screenplay, one that has blood dripping off the pages.

Martin Scorsese makes pictures about the kinds of people you wouldn't want to know.

Top Critic I can't pan it, but this 1980 fantasy biography of fighter Jake LaMotta seems unquestionably Martin Scorsese's weakest work, at least to that point in his career.

Scorsese's masterpiece, that should have won the Oscar, is a haunting pschological study of boxer Jake La Motta and the fine line between animalistic brutality and humanity
