One of my favorite De Niro Scorsese collaborations. De Niro plays this deranged convict and rapist with a thick southern accent. Max (De Niro) was just released from jail, and upon his release, he uses the system to get revenge on Nolte's character (the former public defender, who used dirty tactics to throw De Niro in jail) and his family. Not as good as the more popular and praised De Niro/Scorsese films, but still enjoyable. Oh, and if you ever decide to watch it, I promise you the main score will be stuck in your head for days.
Speaking of Scorsese/De Niro, any thoughts on the duo of Scorsese/DiCaprio? I still love Gangs Of New York, but Daniel Day Lewis stole the show in that one. I didn't have a big problem with The Aviator, and I enjoyed Shutter Island......until the ending.
