Overrating Deniro? The man is the greatest actor of his generation. He has been taking crap roles because he wants easy street not for lack of skill that's for sure.
Heh, well I watch a lot of movies. Hell, my favorite DeNiro roles are probably films you've never seen. He's a great character actor (or was), but after the Untouchables performance & the Rosenthal portrayal, I have no interest in seeing him in anything Chicago-related ever again. He's a New Yorker, and just can't kick that accent/swagger.
But hey, we'll see. Tony Accardo was 100% pure Grand Avenue down to his pinky toe, we'll see if he tries to pull it off or if he just phones it in & plays a NY mob guy in a Chicago background.
