Martin Scorsese's brutal character study incisively portrays the true rise and fall and redemption of middleweight boxer Jake La Motta, a violent man in and out of the ring who thrives on his ability (and desire) to take a beating. Opening with the spectacle of the over-the-hill La Motta (Robert De Niro) practicing his 1960s night-club act, the film flashes back to 1940s New York, when Jake's career is on the rise. Despite pressure from the local mobsters, Jake trusts his brother Joey (Joe

De Niro is always absorbing and credible, even when his character isn't.
Martin Scorsese makes pictures about the kinds of people you wouldn't want to know.
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.
The film that many consider the finest of its decade.
An underdog in its day and a classic today.
Though Raging Bull has only three principal characters, it is a big film, its territory being the landscape of the soul.
Boxing movie masterpiece still brutal, bloody.
The other night, my wife and I sat down to watch the new 30th Anniversary Blu-ray edition of Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull. I could scarcely believe it's been three decades since...
Raging Bull's second release on Blu-ray looks to be the essential version of Scorsese's masterwork, second only to the experience of seeing it on the big screen.
Raging Bull is a fascinating exploration of the mind of an emotionally disconnected man. It's brutal, crass and impossible to look away -- much like a real boxing match.
The 30th anniversary Blu-ray edition contains many special featurettes. Scorsese's 1980 film is an American masterpiece than even he doesn't make anymore.
When has a performer as fully and uniquely sacrificed himself to the moving-picture cause as De Niro?
Scorsese might never again find a subject as ideal as Jake LaMotta, the Bronx-based boxer whose public bouts and private demons Raging Bull chronicles with such bruising acuity.
Um estudo psicológico brutal sobre um homem dominado pelo ciúme, a insegurança e a paranóia e que traz, além da direção inspirada e expressiva de Scorsese, três atuações formidáveis por parte de De Niro, Pesci e Moriarty.
Interesting, rewarding and, at times, surprisingly episodic.
Robert De Niro's metamorphosis into boxing legend Jake La Motta (AKA the Bronx Bull) is one of the most impressive acting transformations on celluloid.
An essential addition to the libraries of all true cinephiles, the film is a triumph both for De Niro and his director, Martin Scorsese, as this stuffed set ably demonstrates.
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.
De Niro and Joe Pesci are impeccable and Cathy Moriarty is iconically sexy.
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.
Among the greatest films of the 1980s, but not Scorsese's best.
Martin Scorsese's luminous study of a man at war with his own nature remains undimmed after almost 30 years.
Paul Schrader and Mardik Martin turn in a soulful and intelligent screenplay, one that has blood dripping off the pages.
This is Scorsese and De Niro at their best.
I finally got to see this classic film and sadly, I was disappointed; I didn't like it. There were elements that I thought were excellent like the acting, direction, and cinematography (the black and white is perfect for this film), but I just never got into it. I didn't really care for any of the characters and the
