Lowest Point in De Niro's Career


...or will it be topped by an even worse movie?

If he did something like this in the seventies, eighties and even the nineties, I'm sure he would've been great. He just doesn't put in as much effort as he used to now that he's got older which is fair enough, he's still great to watch if you ask me.

What exactly is wrong with this movie?

Why...so...serious

I enjoyed the movie, too. It wasn't oscar worthy, but I certainly enjoyed it. Now, I wouldn't watch it ten times or buy it. I might re-rent it just to see about the negative comments that I have read here.

De Niro's acting isn't the problem. This is just a horrid screenplay.

reply

Definitely Not the lowest point have you not seen Godsend, if not forget i mentioned it, that is definitely his worse movie if not the worst movie i've ever seen

reply

I strongly disagree , this movie has all elements to make it Non-boring no matter how many times you watch it

lol, it wasn't too good. Average at best. It took a LONG time to get going.

Just a paycheck for Bobbie D.

It's probably a toss up between this and Godsend, both are pretty dire. Perhaps he should avoid 'horror'.

The best thing about this film was Dakota Fanning... and the end, when it finally came.

Never again.

so bad it was even embarassing to watch ...

Righteous Kill.

I really liked this movie until the twist, which I thought was unoriginal and was strewn with plotholes.

I wouldn't say it is the lowest point of De Niro's career. His performance as a concerned father was very convincing, and Dakota Fanning was excellent as well. The acting from the whole cast was of a high standard I thought. It was the story that I had a problem with.

I have seen lots of films where the twist is that the main protagonist turns out to be killer etc.

reply

Nothing wrong with De Niro he just shouldn't have accepted the role, the story was bad and full of Hollywood cliches for this genre. Great actors should stick with great roles, what was he thinking?

reply

Wow I am surprised. I loved the twist.

Righteous Kill.

"Could care less" = "care at least a little"

Ha ha loved the name of this post!

Having said that I always find this sort of film fairly watchable, but whether Bobby has had worse...hmmm I've not seen Godsend yet....

Come. It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man...

what about that flocker movie?
