Righteous Kill - Quick Review

The last time we saw Al Pacino and Roberto Di Nero acting in the same movie, they were pitted against each other but in this movie they play two detectives who are partners. Even though they are both on the same side, this movie has a scene reminiscent of the famous confrontation scene which takes place between them in Heat when both of them cross paths in the bar. It's worth watching the movie for that last five minutes, where you find out why these two actors are the best in the business. Other than that one scene, the rest of the movie is rather insipid and the movie is best watched on DVD, that too on a rainy day or when you have nothing better to do.

Tail piece : It's not much of a thriller really as from the beginning you sort of know what the ending would be. Both of them look really old to be playing Police detectives and should say that the director or more importantly the writer wasted such talented actors.
