Synopsis

For those left unsatisfied by Robert De Niro and Al Pacino's near-lack of shared screen time in Michael Mann's masterful HEAT, RIGHTEOUS KILL promises a prominent pairing of the two legendary actors. De Niro and Pacino star as two cops who team up to catch a serial killer in this crime thriller from director Jon Avnet (FRIED GREEN TOMATOES, 88 MINUTES).


Carla Gugino (SPY KIDS, SNAKE EYES), John Leguizamo (WILLIAM SHAKEPEARE'S ROMEO + JULIET, MOULIN ROUGE!), Donnie Wahlberg (THE SIXTH SENSE, SAW 2) and Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson co-star in this compelling thriller.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's not Heat but it's still pretty good!, 14 Jan 2009
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Although De Niro and Pacino are back in a film together again, `Righteous Kill' was never going to be another Heat or Godfather Part 2, but it still is a very good and very exciting thriller.

Criminals who have dodged prison despite being obviously guilty are found murdered in cold blood with a poem left next to their bodies. Detectives Turk (De Niro) and Rooster (Pacino) work to identify the possible connection between the recent murders and a case they believe they solved years ago.

I actually found this movie very enjoyable with some excellent performances from both of the lead roles, as well as Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent), Carla Gugino, John Leguizamo and Donnie Whalberg. The script is very well written with some good shocks and surprises and some really good twists.

The only problem I found with this film is that it felt like I started watching it halfway through as there are supposed to be 14 murders and they go through each of them but only start at number 10. It's not a massive deal, as I imagine it probably would have dragged on way too much if they had of included the first 9 but at first I was a little confused on what was going on but soon got into It once the investigation starts.

Overall, if you like thrillers and don't expect it to be Heat like most disappointed viewers do, then I'm pretty sure you're going to enjoy this. 3.5/5.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Sun Sets On Two Great Careers, 2 Mar 2009
By John Wilfers (Dublin, Ireland.) - See all my reviews
I felt quite sad watching this movie. It felt like the end of an era. The end of the careers of two of the best actors ever to grace our screens.

Robert De Niro plays the fittest, angriest, horniest, pension-age cop in the world. Pacino is his partner and together they are trying to catch a vigilante killer (Sounds familiar? It is and hack director Jon Avnet, responsible for Pacino's last turkey "88 Minutes," is unable to do anything with it).

There is a brief cameo from 50 Cent. Carla Gugino has the thankless task of being De Niro's love interest when he's almost old enough to be her grandfather. John Leguizamo, Benny Blanco in Pacino's "Carlito's Way", reunites with him here.

De Niro doesn't really stray too far from the persona he's created over the last three decades. Pacino, actually too old to be a cop in real life, looks haggard, bored and seems to have no energy whatsoever. He's like a spent force, not the whooping, eye-rolling guy he was in "Heat." Even stranger is the Photoshop facelift they've given both actors on the DVD cover, Pacino looks like a 12-year old boy!

"Righteous Kill" was a huge disappointment to me. I knew it wouldn't come near "Heat," but I hadn't expected a TV-movie-level effort like this one was. I will probably buy it just to complete my collection of De Niro/Pacino movies. Otherwise, buy one of their early classics like "Dog Day Afternoon," "Raging Bull," "The Godfather Trilogy," or "Heat."

2.0 out of 5 stars it's no heat., 10 Dec 2008
By Mr. R. W. Graham (Lincoln, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
righteous kill should have been one of the movie events of the year. robert deniro and al pacino together in one film should have been something spectacular and epic to watch, instead, we get a film that would have probably gone straight to dvd if not for the cast. it's no heat, but then again i wasn't really expecting it to be. while the film is worth watching just for deniro and pacino who are both excellent, though of course both have done far better, and the supporting cast are good as well, it's poorly directed, jon avnett is definately no michael mann, hell he's not even a michael bay! and the script is very predictable. well acted, but that's it.
