Anything with him in it about the mafia should be good!

Robert De Niro is set to play a Mafia hit man in a new gangster movie.

Variety says he will star in the adaptation of Don Winslow's yet-to-be-published The Winter of Frankie Machine.

De Niro would play a hit man who has retired to run a bait shop. When he finds out that he's been targeted for a hit, he gets back in the business.

Paramount Pictures is behind the project which will be produced by De Niro and Jane Rosenthal's Tribeca Films.
