Re: OS Off Topic
Well I have returned from Righteous Kill and I gotta say it's a pretty good movie. I think a lot of people came away disappointed because they expected more out of it then they should've. This is a cop thriller it's not supposed to be the Holy Grail.
The movie really focuses on the De Niro and Pacino characters as it should and I gotta say that it was a tour de force. I've seen some say that Pacino seemed like he mailed it in but I think on the contrary. His character is supposed to be weary and at the end of his rope in some respects. His character didn't seem all that deep and complex but the twist in the plot does add the context to the Pacino character quite well. De Niro was fabulous with his character who didn't seem like the way the movie wanted you to. (that's all i'll say because of the twist) Bob was great in especially in the scenes where he came off as a loose cannon ready to blow up.
There is some good supporting work in the film as well but the actual characters are nothing more then cardboard. That being said Leguizamo and Donnie Wahlberg turned in good performances. De Niro's girlfriend in the movie (Carla Gugino) was pretty sexy and played her part quite well.
All in all I thought it was a good film. Some movie mavens might spot the twist early on but that doesn't matter because the acting is so good between De Niro and Pacino.
I give this a weak 3 out of 5 stars. The story could've used some punching up and 50 cent was a waste of celluloid.

NBA League Pass sounds attracting for $42.25...i wonder if they start charging when the season starts or now.
