Not so, He is brilliant in anything and everything he is in, try Awakenings, the Score, Cape Fear, The Fan, This Boys life, Stone, Casino, HEAT, to name a few that he is great in and not a mobster. Heat he is the bad guy so to speak I guess, but this is his best i think, for me anyway, what about Raging Bull and Taxi Driver? I guess you could class these as the bad guy ones too, still amazing talent no matter what role he is in, the thing about De Niro is he does not really act, he "BECOMES" Also Flawless(99) he is not the bad guy. He's one of the greatest of all time everyone who knows cinema knows this. Duh.
Oh guess we should not forget the Deer Hunter, no mob guy there! -

I actually like his performance in City by The Sea, despite the fact the movie itself is not great. There are two types of De Niro movie, the 'appearance' type, where he turns up reads his lines (more than adequately) and gets paid.
Then there is the 'performance' type, where you can clearly see he is giving it his all. I think this movie is one of those, despite the fact it's not one of the better films he has starred in, but that's not due to his performance.
He is not the only star that turns up for the occasional paycheck, all actors of his stature do it, and who can blame them. After all most of them put in many years without a paycheck getting where they are today. Good luck to them! -

It's pretty wild that 13 years later, De Niro is still cashing in haha. I was never a huge De Niro fan, but I must admit that over 60 years of starring in successful movies each year is an incredible accomplishment
