Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

adonis98-743-186503 Two veteran New York City detectives work on a case of serial executions of criminals who escaped justice. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are terrific talented actors unfortunately this movie isn't it's boring and uses violence in order to do something the same director of this movie also directed 88 Minutes a film starring Pacino again and although it wasn't perfect at least i had fun with it but this one? Not even close the whole ending ruined the movie for me showing who was the killer and it was just laughable i would advice you to skip this and just see something else Heat or Godfather Part II but this one? Not even close they basically ruined 2 great actors with this one..

thirdeyemedia 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.

rogerdarlington Robert De Nero and Al Pacino are both outstanding actors who have had long and illustrious careers, but they have only appeared in the same film on three occasions. In 1974, they were both in "The Godfather: Part II", but never together. In 1995, they were united in "Heat", where they only shared two pivotal scenes. Then, in 2008, we had "Righteous Kill" when they spend most of the movie together. Interestingly, in "Godfather", both are criminals; in "Heat", one is a criminal and the other is a cop; while, in "Righteous Kill", they are both cops.Turk (De Nero) and Rooster (Pacino) are two ageing New York detectives and long-time partners who are on the trail of a serial killer with a penchant for poetry. Writer Russell Gewirtz manipulates the viewer into thinking one thing when the action seems to suggest other things and it is all rather tangled until a conclusion that makes some sort of sense (but not much). This is a poor use of two great talents who are watchable but wasted. "Righteous Kill" is nothing like as good as "The Godfather: Part II" or "Heat" but it seems to pay homage to the second movie in a last scene that echoes that of the finale of the earlier work.

Sandcooler Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are arguably the two greatest actors of their generation, so when they get together to do any scene there tends to be magic in the air. "Heat" was everything you could want from this collaboration and more, it gave these two acting powerhouses the podium they deserved because it had so much more going for it than just the acting. "Righteous Kill" on the other hand, it just sorta glides by without really capturing much of your interest throughout. Its two aging detectives trying to locate a serial killer (but maybe it's one of them?) while talking in occasionally witty one-liners, there's not much more to it than that. The leads sell it quite well, but they really have to drag this one out of the swamp. Their co-stars are just boring, the story seemed predictable to me (some say it's full of surprises, more power to them) and the blandly dark cinematography doesn't leave much room for putting anyone in the spotlights, but as I said, you can't make a bad movie when you have Pacino and De Niro at your disposal. It's just weird to me that they chose this project particularly, there must be so many better scripts laying around for the both of them. But oh well, before they start doing those I guess "Righteous Kill" is a pretty good time-waster.
