Well now "Righteous Kill" is out in theaters starring Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro...and as I suspected..it is a piece of garbage with a 22% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Like I said in my first post about this earlier this year I think that both of them have become jokes and parodies of themselves. They ruled the cinema in the 1970's and are two of the best of all time, but it is time to accept this fact. Your not young anymore, stop doing projects to cash the paycheck, we know your heart isn't in it anymore. It is time to become character actors, seek out great roles, seek out great movies! Redeem yourselves!!! We don't want to see any more cop/serial killer flicks with you two anymore, it is very disheartening. Once again the last great movie for Al Pacino was Donnie Brasco (1996), the last good one was "The Insider" in 1999. Robert DeNiro's last great movie was "A Bronx Tale" 1993 Last good one was "The Score" 2001 Will these two ever be in a good/great movie again? We will see.

What a buzz kill! I had great hopes for this movie. Don't get me wrong, I didn't hope for brilliance, I wasn't expecting the Deer Hunter, but I was hoping for good. I was hoping for something that I could say 'yeah, it's worth seeing.'
Why did you have to do this, Gar? I hate you. You're not my dad. You don't own me!
Is Al Pacino better in this than he was in Oceans 13? Or Deniro better than the gay pirate in Stardust? It cant get much worse than those, so this has to be an improvement.
Just finished watching the movie. I thought it was fine. Of course it wasn't great - you can only make so many great movies in a career. But I enjoyed the movie. Garbage? Not close...
Here the problem with brilliance - people come to expect it every time. When that doesn't happen - they call whatever you do that isn't brilliant - bad. This is why I strive for mediocrity in my life, you never let anyone down.
