THIS BOYS LIFE. NOT YOUR AVERAGE DI NERO FILM. OTHER FILMS SUPERB
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I decided to buy this boxset because I hadn't seen any of the 5 films and I was going to Poland for a month and wanted some entertainment for the evening. I liked all the films, mainly because I appreciate Robert De Niro's acting. In this set he plays a variety of roles, not just gangster/police parts, and I was pleasantly surprised in his role as the father in 'This Boy's Life', a true story. I did not like the violence in 'Goodfellas', although perhaps it was true to life. However, it was much too graphic for me. I think that if you are buying a Robert De Niro film then you can expect it to contain plenty of action and these films did not disappoint in this department. I do not tnink that 'Goodfellas' would make good viewing for children and the 18 year rating should take care of that.........but care would be needed to prevent youngsters getting hold of it in the home. My personal preference has always been comedy and this boxset gives a totally different perspective on life, combining the tougher aspects in everyday existence with realism, often making uncomfortable viewing even though you know it is just a film. Overall I was pleased with my purchase and will seek out more of Robert De Niro for home viewing. This boxset contained the following films :- i) 'Heat' with Al Pacino. A running time of 164 minutes. ii) 'The Mission' with Jeremy Irons. A running time of 120 minutes. iii) 'This Boy's Life' with Leonardo DiCaprio. A running time of 115 minutes. iv) 'Goodfellas' with Ray Liotta. A running time of 139 minutes. v) 'City By The Sea'. A running time of 104 minutes.Read full review
