When he hosted Saturday Night Live (has he done so more than once?), he seemed distinctly uncomfortable with the show's live format. He revealed limitations to his grasp of his craft at that moment. I think he's a good actor, but with a limited range, which might in part arise from the types of roles he chooses or to which he has been typecast.

I think I read somewhere - in some screenwriter's tell-all - that DeNiro can't put two words together without it being scripted for him.
MaineWriter:
I won't be seeing it, so I won't be walking out, but omigod does "I Know Who Killed Me" sound like one dreadful movie! It is at 8% right now on rottentomatoes.com
You know it's bad when reviewers write comments like this:
I wish I could say one nice thing about the movie, but even my old stand by of, “At least, it started on time,” doesn’t apply here. After a 20 minute delay in starting the movie, I had to assume the projector was taking an ethical stand and refusing to be party to the heinous act of showing this movie to people who were forced to pay for it.
Ack!

I've heard similar comments about Marlon Brando, in that he frequently read his lines from cue cards out of the camera's range. DeNiro reminds me a bit of Brando in that both are quite adequate in a rather narrow range of roles, but rarely (or cannot) stray far from their circumscribed focus.

Dune. The one with Sting and Kyle McLaclan (sp?) That one re-defined boredom.
And
Fight Club. Don't care that it was supposed to be Edward Norton and Brad Pitt apparently doing their best roles or what not. Don't care that the film keeps reaching the top of "Best Film Ever" lists. Nothing is going to make me sit through that amount of IMO gratuitous horrid violence.
I also agree with Laura about True Lies. Didn't see it in the cinema ( I've mostly managed to avoid Governator movies in the cinema, luckily) but I *did* watch part of it on TV one night when I was business travelling and staying alone in a hotel out in the middle of nowhere. I made quick and effective use of the remote's "off" button. What a piece of c**p.
