Review of People I Know (2002) by Rick E — 09 Sep 2004
A mesmerizing performance by Al Pacino is not enough to save a sloppy and, at times, incoherent plot that never quite gels into anything of substance. People I Know is a pseudo-thriller with lofty, yet ambiguous, ideals and heavy-handed morality messages. Pacino does great work as the washed-up publicist who unwittingly becomes caught up in a web of intrigue. Pacino is barely recognizable - haggard, sweaty, and pale - and his performance transcends the rest of the film.
People I Know is available in 1.85:1 widescreen and 5.1 DTS Surround or 5.1 DD. Extras are limited to full-length commentary by director Daniel Algrant and a pair of deleted scenes removed because they prominently feature the WTC towers.
