  3. Movie Review: Righteous Kill - 2 stars out of 5

    Pacino and DeNiro team up one more time for Righteous Kill, a somnambulant thriller that might have been better titled No City for Old Men. It's a decaffeinated serial-killer cop-drama, directed with lots of close-ups and not a lot of style by Al Pacino's 88 Minutes collaborator, Jon Avnet.

  4. 'Righteous Kill' is a letdown

    For all the fuss that's been made about Robert De Niro and Al Pacino reuniting on the big screen, " Righteous Kill" is a letdown. But is that really a surprise? The appeal of a De Niro-Pacino billing has waned since the '90s, when their powerhouse...

  6. 'Righteous Kill:' Rat-a-tat-flat

    What a difference a director makes. When Al Pacino and Robert De Niro shared a scene together in Heat, with Pacino as the L.A. cop par excellence and De Niro as the master criminal, the wide-awake and super-skilled Michael Mann orchestrated it, aptly enough, as a meeting of street legends, and the legendary actors pulled it off. When Pacino said "I don't know how to do anything else" and "I don't much want to, either" and De Niro replied, twice, "Neither do I," they put tons of emotional weight and history behind that simple exchange.

  12. '88 Minutes'

    A cheap thriller with an expensive star, "88 Minutes" is fast, sleazy and serviceable - in other words, totally watchable - and has one point in its favor: It never tries to pretend it's a class act.
