Review of Righteous Kill (2008) by Jo B — 21 Nov 2009
Two veteran cops investigate a serial killer mystery and suspect the killer may be a cop. Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are two of the greatest actors of all time. These two men have cemented themselves as acting legends in films such as 'Taxi Driver' 'Raging Bull' and 'GoodFellas' (De Niro) and 'The Godfather' 'Serpico' and 'Dog Day Afternoon' (Pacino) to name a few.
The two had only been in the same movie twice before, in 'The Godfather, Part II' and 'Heat'.However, iIn 'Godfather II' they never shared the screen together, and in 'Heat' they only have two scenes together.
'The Godfather, Part II' and 'Heat' are two masterpieces of cinema, and a lot of credit goes to the performances by De Niro and Pacino. Unfortunately this third pairing up, called 'Righteous Kill' ruins their undefeated record.
It is a boring, dull crime film which plays out more like a bad episode of Law and Order than Heat 2...
