An average movie

Since I’m still a huge fan of Robert de Niro, I really wanted to check this flick, even though I wasn’t sure what to expect. Indeed, de Niro has been my favorite actor for ages and there was a time when I was actively hunting down his movies (by now, I have seen 67 of his movies, more than any other actor). Unfortunately, those last years, this chase has been rather thankless since de Niro has been making recently up to 4 movies a year and each movie was more forgettable than the other (with the notable exception of ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ which was really awesome and featured a great performance by Robert de Niro). Anyway, this movie was his acting debut so I was really eager to check it out. Indeed, before ‘Main Streets’ and making all these great movies with Martin Scorsese, Robert de Niro first started with Brian De Palma and they made 3 movies together. Anyway, how was the damned thing eventually? Basically, it is one of those experimental 60’s features. Honestly, it was rather messy and random with no real plot and even though it was an interesting watch, it was still nothing really remarkable. Still, even though without De Palma and de Niro’s involvement nobody would actually be interested in this flick, I still think it is worth a look though.
