While I generally share your opinion that the tics of modern filmmakers have been detrimental - it still has to be said that great screen acting still exists. If a guy like Phillip Seymour Hoffman could put up a career-full of greatness in the late 90s and 2000s - then it has to have been possible for De Niro to have fared better.
