Review of Righteous Kill (2008) by Pekka V — 14 Jun 2009
You know the movie's gonna be bad when the video store guy looks at it and offers you a free new release.
The second film from John Avnet is an average story for 70% at best. The end is cliched and stupid. It does have Pacino & De Niro, which is it's only selling point. It's shot in a pedestrian way that is so dull you actually notice it.
What's really wrong is this should be a TV movie not something with Pacino & De Niro, Sometimes their great other times their just getting through the scene and no I didn't buy that Carla Gugino was Bob's girlfriend.
John Avnet in my opinion is worse then Uwe Boll because he can put a great cast together and has the resources to make a great film but he seems to forget about getting a good script to start with.
