5 reasons I’m psyched for ‘Righteous Kill’

For this one, all I gota say is, Finally, I felt jiped by Heat so hopefully this is the Pacino/DeNiro team up that most Italian Americans like my self have been waiting for.

Sweet -- I didn't realize that Carla was included.
I was already stoked to see this; that just makes it all the better.

Two for two, MaryAnn.

Looks extremely generic to me, despite the presence of Deniro and Pacino.

Five reasons I'm not psyched:

1. 88 Minutes
2. Analyze That
3. Any Given Sunday
4. Rocky and Bullwinkle
5. S1m0ne

Kruger non of those movies where cops movies. Second, this could be "The Departed" of Pacino and Deniros career, not saying it is, but a could be. third, its Scarface and Taxi driver ok, I heard things, ok I heard they'd make a movie together like this. I really doubt, the two of them would agree to be in the same movie on a weak script, especially after a wait this long and do some run of the mill good cop,bad cop routine. That would be a disappointment.

Couldn't "cop serial killer" mean a non-cop who serially kills cops, rather than a serial killer who is a cop?
(Yes, I am an English major.)
The first trailer I saw made the movie look formulaic and awful; the second (much longer) one made it look like both cops were whacking bad guys without telling the other, and trying to set themselves up to take the fall in case the other guy got caught...an interesting idea, at least.
Kruger makes a good point, though: when was the last time either of these great actors made a movie that was even watchable? Bobby's was probably Ronin, in 98, and Pacino...uh...Heat, maybe?

Bumfp.
Pacino was good in "Two for the Money" then before that he did "The Devils Advocate" and " Donnie Brasco" ,all which were after "Heat" , their great actors , not bums.

their great actors , not bums.

Indeed. Pacino and DeNiro are great actors. Which is exactly why so many of their most recent films have been disappointing; we expect a lot more from Pacino and DeNiro than we would, say, Rob Schneider.

What Pen Dragon said.

And being one of the few people here who was unfortunate enough to actually have seen the godawful mess that was 88 Minutes, I don't exactly consider it a good sign that Righteous Kill is being directed by the same guy who directed 88 Minutes.

But like most people here, I hope I'm wrong. For MaryAnn's sake, at least.
