Review of Righteous Kill (2008) by Caleb M — 16 Jul 2009
Well, I can't say I was surprised. Righteous Kill should only been viewed as an example of how two great actors can't save a film. This plot is stupid and sloppy, and the two main performances are tired and uninteresting.
John Leguizamo and Donnie Wahlberg show more charisma than De Niro and Pacino. The editing is awful as well. This film has been cut so much ad is filled with so many close-ups that De Niro and Pacino wouldn't even has needed to be in the same place to shoot their scenes.
This film was made for two reasons: money, and because everyone involved knows young boys know Pacino and De Niro as tough, cool, badasses and wouldn't be able to tell a quality film from the latest video game trailer.
