September 6, 2009It's a knockout. A complete powerhouse of a thriller that laced with suspense, a great cast and explosive action. A tremendous, thrilling, intelligent and sensational film. It is always entertaining with enough action, drama and surprises to keep you satisfyed. It's spellbinding,...( read more)

July 21, 2009Awful waste of time. The twist was predictable and pointless. The writing was boring and silly. Not my kind of movie and by that I mean the kind that suck. I respect the actors, but the story and direction didn't support the acting as it should have.

June 30, 2009When I initially saw the trailer for Righteous Kill I knew it was going to be bad. I just didn't think it was going to be this bad. Robert DeNiro got through his role with a furrowed brow and some grumpiness while Al Pacino coasted through the movie with mostly vacant stares and ...( read more)

June 14, 2009This was a pretty good one with the story that flows perfectly. Pacino and De Niro were great. The intelligently presented plot makes this one worth seeing.

April 24, 2009Big Actors filling big shoes. New generation 21st century movie. Good family cop film. De Niro and Pacino have a good chemistry.

November 7, 2009Ho passato tutto il film a pensare che fosse De Niro lo stronzo, quando invece era Pacino e soprattutto con un pelino in più d'attenzione lo avrei capito anche all'inizio perché lo spiegava °_°, yay me.
E comunque vederli insieme è sempre un brivido. -
November 5, 2009De Niro and Pacino are so bad these days that it might just be a good idea for them to hurry up and die, so that we as a society and southern hip hop moguls can just classify them as the greatest actors of the last 40 years. That way, like everyone famous that dies we forget abou...( read more)

October 30, 2009I don't care what reviewers say, I actually liked this movie. I think Al Pacino was my favorite part about the entire film, in fact. His dialogue was funny, I always looked forward to what he had to say. 50 Cent was funny too; I was a little worried about him being in it. He's a ...( read more)

Pete Hammond, Back Stage
If the movie isn't anything to write home about, Pacino and DeNiro are. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Pacino has a few funny lines, as does Leguizamo, but not nearly enough to save the film from collapsing under the weight of its own self-righteous tedium. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Enduring a contrived and convoluted crime drama would be worthwhile if it featured powerhouse performances from the two best screen actors of their generation. Such is not the case. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Righteous Kill, a.k.a. The Al and Bob Show, is a cop flick with all the drama of Law and Order: AARP. full review

January 11, 2009(2008 Director: John Avnet) After reading Daniele's review, NOW I want to see this!! I loved the movie "Heat" WHICH co-starred these same 2 legends...but on opposite sides of the law. Overdue to see them both together on the same screen

August 4, 2008There is definetly a very dark overtone of conspiracy in this flick. I guarantee that one of the two GREATS have their hand in the cookie jar. Just watching the trailer gives me the chills about this synopsis. And I heard Armand Assante is the rip roaring bad ass villian. I'll never know until I am ass deep in that comfy theater chair. Can't wait.

November 8, 2007I Hope 50 Cent Doesnt Ruin This Movie. When You Have Two Great Actors Like Pacino And De Niro, The Last Thing You Need Is A Mediocre Rapper Messing Up The Whole Thing. Lets Hope For The Best. The Film Does Have John Leguizamo, Donnie Wahlberg, And Carla Gugino... :)
