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.

WORTH YOUR TIME
‘Heat’s’ Hot Cup Of Coffee
By Devin Gordon | NEWSWEEK
Published Aug 30, 2008
From the magazine issue dated Sep 8, 2008

Once upon a time, the prospect of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino on screen together, mano a mano, would've provoked a wildly different reaction than the one I have whenever I see posters for their new cop flick, "Righteous Kill." Twenty years ago I'd have raced you to the theater. Now? All I see is two bored, scowling men paired up for a movie that sounds as though it's about a surfing competition ("Dude, that was a righteous kill!"), and all I think is, "Oh, no." This isn't the first time De Niro and Pacino have stooped to self-parody in paycheck roles. It's just the first time they've done it as a team. Too harsh? The director is Jon Avnet, the man behind "Fried Green Tomatoes," as well as Pacino's latest, "88 Minutes," which was notable only for being 17 awful minutes longer than the title promised.

My advice: skip "Righteous Kill" and catch De Niro and Pacino together at a moment when "De Niro and Pacino together" actually meant something. It happened only once, in Michael Mann's 1995 crime epic "Heat" and—aside from the climactic, largely wordless shoot-out—only for a single scene: at a roadside diner, the two sit down for the most thrilling cup of coffee in cinema history. (Both actors were in "The Godfather: Part II" but never shared the screen.)

What's great about the diner scene is, ironically, how preposterous it is. In Mann's meticulously constructed saga, there's no earthly reason for the good guy and the bad guy to meet for a chat, except to give the audience this moment of bliss. Once De Niro and Pacino are across the table from each other, the movie drops away, as if Mann pressed "pause," and the two characters discuss who they are and why they do the things they do, like rival samurai trading philosophies during a breather from combat. De Niro's bank robber is wary but calm and guileless; Pacino's cop is a cocksure raconteur, savoring the presence of a worthy adversary. There's no music, no plot, no fancy camera tricks. Just six minutes of pure acting. The men finish their coffee, then return to their separate worlds. If De Niro and Pacino had any sense—any fingertips for the meta-universe of movies, where such collisions are so powerful precisely because they're so rare—they would've left it that way.

I was going to skip it because of that idiotic moron from St. Louis who ain't worth 1/2 a dollar, but now that I know Carla is in it....

I'll never forget her in Sin City

I thought it looked pretty good.   I don't know that I'll see it in the theaters but I'll definitely grab the DVD.

I need to watch Heat again.

I'll wait for DVD but I do want to see it since it was filmed in the next town over from me.

Just got back from the matinee...

I enjoyed the flick, but it wasn't what I expected.  I'm glad I didn't pay $10 to see it, but it was worth $4.

Just got back as well.  It was pretty good.  I think it was worth the money.

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.
