The Bronx Bull

The Bronx Bull is a sequel/remake to Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull that basically attempts to externalize, psychoanalyze, while at the same time romanticizing the original's main character.  The film is, as I recently stated on Netflix and on Facebook, extremely racy and unpleasant, so much so that the apparent benefits of really "knowing" Jake LaMotta are outweighed by his unpleasant milieu.  The film is a Scarfacean wallow in excess, one that ultimately isn't worth viewing.  I would pass.
