Mean Streets (1973)

Mean Streets is a film that I don't like. The story is all over the place. In fact, it doesn't have one at all. There are just characters going places, then to other places. I felt like I was being stepped on the whole time I was watching it, being forced to watch the thing, just because it was supposed to be good.

If the whole thing wasn't bad enough, the part which I had to struggle through was the first fight scene. Those repeated shots of De Niro's character kicking into the air off the pool table are laughably ridiculous.
