Grumpy Old Cops

citizenk from , 23rd September, 2008

Ok,I'll cut straight to the chase-this is quite probably the worse film I have seen so far this year.De Niro AND Pacino playing a couple of veteran,maverick cops in a New York set thriller,this is going to be awesome right?Well,er,no actually wrong.Where to begin? A very poor script,two of the most tired performances either actor has ever given,a twist a chimp could telegraph fifteen minutes into proceedings,and a plot that the writers of Kojak would've rejected for being too far-fetched.The only reason I stuck with this and didn't walk out,was the fact that De Niro and Pacino have featured in some of the best films of the last 30 years.This is most definitely not one of them. It's painful watching these two screen acting heavyweights spout second rate TV movie dialogue,and looking like they only turned up for the paycheck.I never thought I'd say this about a film starring two of my all-time favourite actors,but here goes-AVOID.

Righteous Kill

An absolute waste of time & electricity. Possibly the most mind numbingly insipid, weak, inane, degrading, piece of rubbish ever committed to screen. I categorically can guarantee that this film will leave you bewildered as to how two once incredible (once I'm using the past tense for these guys now) actors managed to read the script and: 1. Believe it to have enough merit to make into a film 2. Lower their screen personas, personalities and history to such an extent I have no respect for them anymore 3. To act so diabolically that it felt like I was watching a low budget amateur porn film 4. To ever be able to show their faces again in public, to their families and to ever refer to themselves as actors ever again. If you want a thrill, please just eat chilli con carne up your nose with a straw instead of watching this piece of utter dogs mince.

Great film with great actors!

Lucy Grattan from Surrey, England, 17th September, 2008

Just saw this in the USA (Sept 08) - what can I say, you get the performances that you would expect from these two brilliant actors - very good - nothing more to add!

righteous kip more like!

A Customer from Sheffield, 16th December, 2008

Bad bad bad bad bad! seriously, it's W*nk! just look at all the crap DeNiro has been in recently and what the hell has Pacino done in the last 10 years? methinks some fanboy sent this to one of them who saw an opportunity for a couple of over the hill heavyweights to grab some easy cash. Great cast, awful script and even worse director, don't waste your time.

Righteous Kill

A Customer from Northern Ireland, 3rd March, 2010

This film did not live up to its expectations, im a great fan of both Pacino and De Niro however the plot in this film was quite a let down. There were some good parts to it, but i would not watch it again.

Pacino/Niro combination always promises good viewing. The plot-twist seemed to me a bit forced but was still unexpected- in a funny way. Good cinematography. I liked it.
