A great clip from a great, great movie. No spoiler alert necessary. This scene is proof why everybody who discovers this movie watches it a ton of times. And why everybody else should own a copy of this movie for themselves. You can watch Mad Dog And Glory it over and over and still love it every time. It hardly ever makes any "greatest" or "top" lists, but it's one of those films you just love to watch. DeNiro is great as always, but as this clip reveals, Mad Dog And Glory is a movie that keeps giving you reasons to see it again. David Caruso shows up and proves what a great, great actor he is. It's all in the tone and inflection and more so, the words you don't hear. How toughness is all attitude and has very little to do with physical action. This scene barely involves DeNiro or the other main characters, but it's key to why this movie works so well. It sets up what DeNiro's character, Mad Dog, must eventually face. Credits to director John McNaughton for his expert staging and understanding how to bring the best out of a set of actors with hugely different styles. And, as always, none of this would be possible without a truly unique story and script by Richard Price, who created the surprises throughout the film and keeps every word true to the characters, the city and the story. It's simply fun to keep watching - time after time. If you love to watch movies again and again, you might want to check out the 191Movies website at www.191movies.com
