Righteous Kill (2008)
I've been wanting to review this movie ever since I saw the trailer and decided I didn't want to watch it. It's the movie everyone's been waitng for: Al & Robert, together for a full movie, not like The Godfather Part II where they had no scenes together, or even Heat where they shared the screen for about 10 minutes.
I'm basing this review on the trailers I've seen.
Turn-off #1: "Sympathy for the Devil". Right off the bat I'm annoyed that the movie studio is trying to make it seem like a Scorsese movie by playing a Rolling Stone song.
Turn-off #2: This looks like every shitty movie the two of them have been making for the past 10 years.
Turn-off #3: They don't mention that Pacino worked with the director on his last film: 88 Minutes (from earlier this year), a movie that critics hated and people avoided in droves.
Turn-off #4: They're playing cops, and clearly this isn't just a cop movie; it's all about loyalty and "the brotherhood".
Those two are getting old but that's not the point. They could each live another 60 years and I still don't think either of them will ever make another good movie.
