Righteous Kill (2008) More at IMDbPro »

On this decade,we have mostly seen legendary actors Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on mediocre or bad movies,where they are just worried on winning some more money.It seems that on their mature age,they have lost the interest on performances which challenge them,like Pacino in Serpico and De Niro in Raging Bull.Now,Righteous Kill is another movie in which these two actors are wasted.This is a very bad thriller which commits the fatal sin of being boring.It seems that director Jon Avnet and screenwriter Russell Gewirtz said : "We have De Niro and Pacino.We do not need a good story".That was wrong.The story from this movie is completely hollow and full of plot holes,not to mention it is painfully predictable.Come on,I predicted that ending like 30 minutes after the movie had started.Plus,this is a kind of story which has been seen too many times.On the supporting cast,there are good actors who are wasted,like John Leguizamo,the great Brian Dennehy and the underrated Carla Gugino.This movie was completely boring because it lacked of dynamism.In other words,everything felt pretty static.Righteous Kill is a very crappy and generic cop flick which tells a story which does not produce any interest and is totally predictable.It is obvious that Pacino and De Niro are losing the interest on their careers.
