Best Robert De Niro movies

Robert De Niro may be the quintessential American movie star—one known for his powerfully evocative acting. De Niro’s performances across different film genres prove him to be a virtuoso actor. He’s played iconic American gangsters like Al Capone and Vito Corleone, embodying the criminal persona as a figure of power and corruption with an undeniable allure.

De Niro’s characters often hold such dynamic tension: As Max Cady in “Cape Fear,” De Niro audiences found him both chilling and captivating. As the small-town steelworker turned soldier in “The Deer Hunter,” he captured extremes of both courage and dread. His characters often hold a strong sense of authentic humanity even in roles where he’s an “average” man—as a football-obsessed father in “Silver Linings Playbook,” or as a married man falling for Meryl Streep in the romance “Falling in Love.”

De Niro is famous for his immersive, intensive acting style. He studied with famed acting teachers Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg, honing the “method,” where an actor manifests the character in totality. De Niro’s preparation for roles is renowned, often altering his body through gaining and losing weight—and even once changing his teeth. He masters languages and talents of his characters, such as the Sicilian dialect of Corleone, the skills of the saxophone player in “New York, New York,” and the methods of actual bounty hunters for “Midnight Run.”

De Niro received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for Lifetime Achievement at the 2011 Golden Globes. He’s also received seven Academy Award nominations and won both a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for “The Godfather: Part II” and a Best Actor Oscar for “Raging Bull.” He frequently collaborates with director Martin Scorsese; they worked together on nine films, creating such iconic characters as “Taxi Driver’s” unhinged Travis Bickle and the gangster Jimmy in “Goodfellas.”

To find out which of De Niro's films stand out among the rest, Stacker found the top 50 Robert De Niro movies based on IMDb user ratings. Feature films and TV movies in which he had an acting role were considered. Cameo appearances, voiceover roles in documentaries, and films that have not yet been released to the public were not considered. Among the top 50, De Niro frequently represents the spirit of the American gangster, but as this list shows, he also shines in smaller roles and comedic turns, proving his vast range.

The film was released on November 13, 2015, by Lionsgate Premiere.[3]

Plot[edit]

Luke Vaughn, a man working in a Southern casino run by 'The Pope', has a sick daughter in a hospital, with medical bills he fails to pay, and further needs some $300,000, for her surgery. Yet, Pope refuses his plea for a loan, and when Vaughn insists, Pope fires him, which leads to his being beaten by the boss's right-hand man 'Dog'.

Vaughn is approached by security guard Cox and agrees to rob the money, which the casino is laundering for the mob. After a $3 million heist, the masked thieves are intercepted by Dog's henchmen. A gun battle ensues, wounding one of the thieves, and once their getaway driver escapes in terror, the rest are forced to hijack a city bus number 657. Police Officer Kris Bajos, whose car is parked a half block from the bus stop, hears the gunshots coming from the bus and pursues them and alerts reinforcements to join the chase and post a road block.

Pope orders Dog to retrieve the money. Meanwhile, Cox nearly shoots Kris, and Vaughn writes a passenger's phone number on a bus window, to enable contact with the gang, and warn Kris that Cox will kill passengers if the police are not instructed to clear the roadblocks. Kris obeys and Vaughn orders Bernie the bus driver to ram the roadblock, allowing the bus to enter the interstate highway. The next morning, the wounded thief is dying. Vaughn asks one of the passengers, a veterinarian student, to take care of him. Cox orders Bernie to head to Galveston, Texas; unfortunately, the bus is running low on fuel, so Vaughn calls for a fuel tanker.

Detective Marconi joins forces with Kris when she is about to be relieved from duty. Marconi monitors the bus via a police helicopter. Cox makes a call to Jono, an old man who aided them in planning the robbery, informing Jono that they have the money and are on the way. While refueling, Vaughn allows two hostages (Pauline and a young boy) to be released. Kris discovers that Vaughn pulled the robbery because of his ill daughter. Meanwhile, Dog learns the location of Jono through a police radio scanner.

With the wounded thief suffering blood loss, Vaughn calls Marconi to board the bus with a medical emergency kit. He boards and takes a call from Pope, tossing the phone to Vaughn, revealing Marconi's affiliation with Pope. Shortly thereafter, a SWAT team attacks the bus and pops the bus tire, causing it to crash to a stop near a bridge. Most of the passengers receive minor injuries.

With police surrounding the bus, Cox holds Bernie hostage in front of the cops and on live TV. Bernie is presumably shot dead by Cox, but it is revealed that Vaughn shot his partner Cox instead, saving Bernie. Vaughn receives a call from his daughter saying that the money has arrived to pay the hospital bills. Vaughn releases all the hostages and the bus departs once the tires are repaired. The police authorities follow the bus but find out Vaughn has escaped and only Bernie is inside.

Vaughn arrives at Jono's, but finds Dog has killed him. Dog takes Vaughn prisoner by knocking him out with a shot of rock salt from a shotgun and they are joined by Pope and Marconi back on the bus, though Pope soon kills Marconi. Vaughn shows them where the remaining $2.7 million is hidden on the bus, then explains that Pauline was not a pregnant passenger but is actually his sister, who hid the missing $300,000 in her 'tummy'. Kris had deduced what Pauline was doing and did not stop her from paying the medical bill. Dog is infuriated and is about to burn Vaughn alive, threatening to go after Vaughn's daughter next, when Pope shoots Dog dead. A grateful Vaughn is allowed to get away. Pope waits on the bus and lights a cigarette as the police arrive.
