I have seen previews for this movie the last few movies I have went to. DeNiro and Pacino back together again, I will see it. www.righteouskill-themovie.com/ |
Well since the forum moderator troll has locked my thread.![]()

This sounds about right. |

OK, DeNiro & Pacino did a good job, but they are both a little long in the tooth to still be detectives. Carla was funny but disappointing, I wanted to see her nice chest again. And there was some nice gun porn of a qualifying session. But the thing that pissed me off the most? They carried those special Glocks that made hammer noises whenever the director wanted to ratchet up the action. If you want to make hammer noises, give them guns with hammers! |

*Spoiler Below* It wasn’t a bad movie. But what REALLY hurt was that it wasn’t a GOOD movie. As I was leaving the Manager (?) asked me what I thought about the movie. I said that it wasn’t bad, but Heat was better. He said “Heat was awesome.” And that’s the real problem with the movie. Everybody here is expecting another Heat Wave, but it is nowhere near as good as Heat was. *Spoiler* I knew DeNiro wasn’t the serial killer from the very beginning; it just wasn’t his turn. He was the Bad Guy in Heat and now it was somebody else's turn. And so Pacino became the Bad Guy here. We now have a new Cliché: What gun did Al Pacino use in Righteous Kill? *End Spoiler* This film is so mediocre I watched the trailers for Heat later that night. Even the trailers for Heat were better than the movie Righteous Kill. Again, this movie is Not Bad. But everybody is expecting a so much better movie than what was brought to life it may as well have been written and directed by Michael Moore. |
Damnit.
