barberic-695-574135 Pacino and DeNiro, an unbeatable combination but then add a load of A list actors and you have a recipe for a seriously good movie. A clever story with an unexpected twist, generally well acted and well worth watching. Retained for future viewing.

gbkmmaurstad While this may not be one of my favorite performances by De Niro and Pacino, it is still worth the watch. It is reminiscent of Pacino's role as Serpico (1973) and of any number of current TV crime dramas. Robert De Niro (Turk), Al Pacino (Rooster), Brian Dennehy (Lt. Hingis), Donnie Walberg (Det. Riley), and 50 Cent (Spider) are among the cast of characters.If you're a mystery fan you will have guessed the "whodunit," within the first 15 minutes of this film. Just be sure not to leave the room thinking you'll be able to catch up with the plot when you return. You may be able to guess the "who" early on, but it may take a while to figure out the "why."

grantss Clearly the main idea behind this movie was to have Robert De Niro and Al Pacino together in the same movie, just to get the movie mentioned in the same breath as "The Godfather 2" and "Heat" (being the only other movies that they have both appeared in). Add in Brian Dennehy and this starts to look like a Hollywood retirement village.Fairly conventional plot, though pretty lame at times. Nothing special, and certainly not deserving of the talents of De Niro and Pacino.De Niro and Pacino put in solid, though unspectacular, performances. Decent supporting cast.

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.
