Wow, De Niro really is incredible.


The more I see of him from the 70s and 80s the more I'm impressed. I never knew how versatile he could be. He's still a good actor, but most of what I've seen of him he's so identifiable as Robert De Niro, instead of the characters he plays. I see De Niro as a kinda serious person, and it shows in most of his performances after the 80s. But in Mean Streets, The Godfather 2, The King of Comedy etc he transforms into other people. I forget I'm watching De Niro.

Not credible? Hard to believe? Unbelievable?

Wow....boring. I thought he was very mediocre in this role and actually felt embarrassed for him.
