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.

Regardless, I don't see anyone doing a good mafia movie anytime soon. I think the only people that can master the genre are those that have a real feel for it and grew up in the neighborhoods. That's what made Scorsese's forays into the genre so great. Even Donnie Brasco has a serious cheese element to it in some parts.
