The movie flourishes as a result of Robert De Niro’s outstanding acting, one that earned him an Oscar in the best actor category that year. He discards his old wife and gets married to 15-year old Vicky (Cathy Moriarty), and his greatest supporter is his trainer-brother, Joey (Joe Pesci), who he rarely listens to. Out of the boxing ring, La Motta’s life is a complicated one. But his strained relationship with those around him and reluctance to succumb to the desire of mob boss, Tommy Commo (Nicolas Colasanto), keeps him from participating in the Championship.
The tumultuous life of Jake, on and off the boxing ring is vividly captured in this motion picture that depicts a brute who battles his way through the world of boxing to have a chance at a Championship match. Related: Retro Review: ‘Back to the Future’.
