Actually, expected more from “Righteous Kill.” Imagine, De Niro and Pacino sharing the big screen. Yes, they were together in “The Godfather” but they really didn’t have scenes together. While in “Heat” I think the biggest scene was the street shoot-out.
Directed by Jon Avnet and written by Russell Gewirtz, the story is about two NYPD investigators hunting a vigilante killer.
Was it worth the trip to Edsa Shangrila to watch the movie? And my buttered popcorn and Chief's hotdog sandwich and the 300 pesos movie tickets? Maybe not? Could have been better as it was really just like a TV movie or a two-hour episode of NYPD Blues or the coming new season two-hour premiere of "24" entitled "Redemption." That, we have to watch at home with nachos.
I told Chief that I expected a shootout between De Niro and Pacino at the end of the movie or between Detective Perez played John Leguizamo and Detective Riley played Donnie Wahlberg. But I guess, both respected Academy Award winning actors are too old for any "run and gun" action scenes.
Still, their presence on the big screen is worth a 2-hour stay at the cinema.
