HTF REVIEW: "Showtime" (with screenshots) (1 Viewer)

[Jay Mitchosky]

Guilty pleasure, I guess. I got a kick out of it. Very nice transfer though, as Ron pointed out. But I'll add to the list above that De Niro has comedy chops when called upon. I thought he was hysterical in Midnight Run. He doesn't have a lot of comedy range, however. And even though Showtime really isn't up to his standard I prefer to see him in this type of role than when he plays a loser like in Mad Dog and Glory. Just doesn't fit. For me De Niro is the guy who has all the answers and is on top of his game.
