I just saw it tonight. It was good, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed. Pacino and DeNiro are two of my favorite actors but I felt like this was a luke warm performance for both of them. Granted I've been anticipating this movie so much that it would have been hard for it to live up to my expectations, and it was a lot of fun so I shouldn't complain. However, a lot of people bitch about Heat because the two have so few scenes together and although they are constantly together in this movie I don't feel like it was in any way close to as strong a movie as Heat was. Has anyone else seen it yet?

DeNiro's been phoning it in for decades now, and Pacino always sucked. Why waste the money? -
Pacino always sucked? Are you including Serpico, The Godfather Triology, Heat and Any Given Sunday in that statement? What about Scent of a Woman? Did that suck too? DeNiro is another story because I'm trying to forget that he worked with Ben Stiller but The Score with Ed Norton was still bad ass and that wasn't exactly decades ago. Do you really think they're both over the hill?Originally posted by jubaji View PostComment

H.E.A.T. is my favourite movie, and I think it is all the stronger because of the fact that DeNiro and Pacino only have one real crucial scene together (excluding the end shoot out). Their job in that movie is to make sure that the two core storylines carry their weight and work together, and that’s what they do, as opposed to lots of showy scenes with the two of them.
In my opinion, H.E.A.T is the last great thing that either DeNiro or Pacino did, I agree with jubs that DeNiro has phoned in the last decade or so of his career. I don’t agree that Pacino has always sucked, I’m not a massive fan of his early work or certainly his recent work, but I think he hit a real purple patch in the 90’s with the likes of Carlito’s Way and H.E.A.T.
I’ve followed the build up to Righteous Kill and I’ve just decided to stay away from it, because I think it looks like a poor movie reliant on the teaming up of the two actors. As a big film fan I haven’t been to the movies in months and months, which I think says a lot about the tiresome garbage that is being churned out.Comment
