Negative Positive
Title: Overrated, hyped "classic" is actually slow and uneven.
Review: Poor sound quality in outdoor dialogue scenes, slow pace. This movie is for De Niro and Scorcese groupies who'll mindlessly swallow anything they ejaculate. The laboured 'setting of the mood' for every scene outside the ring will bore you, believe me. This early Scorcese film does not compare favourably to his later films Goodfellas and Casino. Don't waste your time.
