Righteous Kill (2008)

If you do not know this generation you would say if you had nothing good to say ? "I say my opinion is Breathe taking every second every cigar every inch of onthinkable Perpective , complete American Gold! #Goldenglobe to Jodie Fosters Flight plan in comparison . Even lethal weapon could not come close to Calculation . #Blown away .

I admit I was excited when the cast of this movie was announced and even more so when I heard Robert De Niro and Al Pacino would be on screen together most of the movie. But when it came to the movie I was very disappointed as the plot was weak and bizarre and having both main actors playing heroes who were close friends didn't work. Why Michael Mann's Heat worked was the plot wasn't overly complicated and De Niro and Pacino played mortal enemies on opposite sides of the law. To describe this movie would be to call it the antitheses of Heat, a slow paced lame duck which promised much but failed to deliver, what a let down.

Looking for a flick to watch on a dull night for TV, I stumbled across what I thought would be an incredible movie, since it starred both the great Robert DeNiro AND Al Pacino. Sadly, even their incredible acting gifts couldn't salvage this disheveled mess. The premise of 'Righteous Kill'? A couple of aging cops set out to find who has been killing despicable criminals who have escaped justice. It is determined by all that the perpetrator must be a cop...one who leaves poems at each crime scene to explain why he has killed the victim. No, really.If the story-line sounds bad and implausible, it is. When it is finally uncovered who the killer really is, they refer to him as the 'poetry boy'. It's obvious that Pacino and DeNiro can't star in box office hits every single time, but I was hoping this joint venture would be a lot more entertaining than simply laughable. In a word ~ meh.

Noooooo, just noooooooooooo!I was disappointed that they were only ever in one scene together, but in many ways it would have been the perfect legend if they had have only done that scene. it is a brilliant scene, two actors at the top of their game struggling against each other to control the scene - amazing.If they were to make a film together it should have been earlier on in their careers when they were stronger performers, but if they had to do it now they should have picked summat far better than this.It is moronic, it has no suspense, the lines are so clichéd it is toe curling, they both are mediocre in it at best - though given the material it may not be their fault.It has pretensions of being summat smarter which is really unforgivable when it is so ploddingly obvious.destroy every copy of this film and pretend it never existed.
