An Oscar-winning performance by Robert de Niro and poetic direction by Martin Scorsese highlight this riveting drama based on the life of middleweight boxing champion Jake La Motta. The superbly staged fight scenes are wonderfully complemented by a compelling portrayal of a man as furious outside the ring as he is inside. Joe Pesci co-stars as La Motta's brother, and Cathy Moriarty his young second wife. With Frank Vincent, Nicholas Colasanto. 129 min.

Criterion has finally stepped up for this release. The transfer quality is excellent. The film grain is a pinch on the inconsistent side, but it resolves well. I only saw 3 times where it didn't resolve that well, but on the whole it's very good. Black level detail is absolutely superb. It's deep and never crushes. The movie isn't the brightest, just above SDR, but I personally found it fine. There are no bit-depth errors or banding of any kind. There's no edge applied, and ringing is so minor it's not even worth talking about. The audio is pretty standard, but I found the dialog to be clean and clear at all times. The score is absolutely gorgeous and goes so well with this movie. I loved it.
Highly Recommended (Is this the new The Criterion Collection? I want more!)

Kinda disappointed in sound transfer. Really had to tweak settings to hear dialogue. Explosions and gunfire is really loud, just like most o Nolans films.

Excellent artwork for steelbook. Picture 8/10. Some blurry over saturated spots here and there but 4k is beautiful. Sound 10/10 holy cow! Atmos really booms with proper surround. I had to turn bass to -10 with my 150w pioneer floor speakers and 7.1 boston surround speakers through my dennon amp. Highly recommend this film. In my top 10 for atmos glory

Steelbook artwork is great. Nice color flow and custom cover. Movie was ok, but the 4k transfer and atmos made up for it. Sony 4k discs are some of the best presentations

Such a great film to carry the legend of Batman. Great 4k transfer, sounds great too. Steelbook is a must for me. Design is nice and includes blu ray with special features and digital code.

Even though disney+ released this way earlier than 4k disc, i still chose to wait to enjoy on my 4k player instead. Steelbook looks very nice to collect with other steelbook in the marvel universe
