Both DeNiro and (especially) Pacino have completely lost it. This looks like shit run over twice. 50 cent ruined any chances of me taking this seriously.

No. "Will it be this year’s The Departed?" No. "is it just going to bomb and be quickly forgotten?" Probably, though this trailer did make it seem more bearable than I first thought. We'll have to wait and see, I suppose, but I'm not expecting much. “is Righteous Kill going to revive DeNiro and Pacino’s careers?”

No.

“Will it be this year’s The Departed?”

No.

John Avent who did 88 Minutes with Al and which my buddy reviewed and said was a totally funny idiotic movie. I'm expecting it to be bad. I loved Heat it's probably my favorite movie ever but this looks like some treatise on the nature of vigilantism or something. Still with Al and Bob and of course my favorite Denehey I'm looking forward to watching it to be sure. Hmmmm.

They're Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro for crying out loud. They could make any movie they want to, work with whatever director they want to. When was the last time either of them were in anything that even made any money? Meet the Fockers? Based on the trailer, this movie looks like it's riding purely on the established personas of Pacino and DeNiro without possessing any substance. Who knows, on the surface of things it seems like the kind of movie I love--it might turn out to be the next Heat--but I strongly doubt it. The trailer made me cringe.

They are much older now and thats the only type of guys they can play which are the old guys in movies. From looking at IMDB, it looks like De Niro is still a busy guy and his future projects look promising. I think Righteous Kill could be good though. They are still great actors. Btw, thanks for linking uk.youtube vids. Regular youtube site is banned at my work. :( I don’t think they’ll ever return to form.

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:25:14 +0000 http://www.filmjunk.com/?p=9081#comment-447447 I doubt this will be the one. The screenplay to The Inside Man was good but 88 Minutes blows. This looks to have some of the same claustrophobic and terrible camera framing that one did. Why would Pacino do this after seeing 88 Minutes? Even though he's old there's no way he's struggling to find roles. I'd bet on another quickly forgotten bomb. I doubt this will be the one.
