Review of Righteous Kill (2008) by Thomas D — 31 Jul 2010
Righteous Kill was a great 'cop who-dunnit' that teams up two of cinemas greatest tough guy gangsters, DeNiro and Pacino! Tight, buddy-buddy cops that do what they do best. Beat ass and take names, shoot the bad guys and uphold the law, at least by their standards.
When a string of serial killings pop off in New York, Turk and partner Fisk (De Niro and Pacino) are assigned to the case. When the idea that the murderer could be somebody within the law, things start to heat up.
You really have to pay attention to a lot of key details in order to bulls-eye guess the outcome, but its fun trying to guess anyways. I for one, did not got correctly guess who the killer was, as the movie is shot a certain way to point the fingers at certain characters.
A must see for always promised, genuine acting from both Pacino and De Niro as well as supporting cast members like 50 Cent and John Leguiziamo. Great cop flick, good action, good suspense, great mystery.
4-starz.
