Now that's a movie I actually wish I hadn't seen again because I had such fond memories of it. But watching it again recently, it wasn't terrible, but it really let me down. And Scorsese saying he thought it was DeNiro's best performance is I'm sure just him being flippant. It's maybe his most surprising performance but no way his best. Although I'm convinced that the best DeNiro performance wasn't in Taxi Driver, Goodfellas or even Raging Bull. It wasn't in any Scorsese movie; it was in The Deer Hunter.
