Aug 18 2008'Righteous Kill' R-Rated Trailer: Pacino and De Niro Do Whatever They Want
Here's the new effin' & jeffin'-filled trailer to Righteous Kill, a film only notable for the presence of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, two actors once considered impressive to watch. I like how you can tell both of them have completely abandoned the idea of taking direction. Just from this trailer, you get a pretty clear image of what the set was like: Pacino shouting at the camera guy, "You, with the picture machine, keep up, 'cause Bobby and I are gonna be quick, and we don't do take-twos!" The director just sits there with his head in his hands, "God, why do they keep reasserting how much they like guns? We know they like guns."

Al Pacino & Robert De Niro in Righteous Kill.
It's like two Gods who went from the bible to a secondhand supermarketstand detectivenovel.

This looks okay. I bet it won't be as good as Heat.

Did she really just say, "this is the clusterfuck to end all clusterfucks"?

The killer is:
a. Dexter
b. Robert DeNiro
c. The hammy, gravelly-voiced midget that killed Al Pacino after Dog Day Afternoon and stole his identity

I highly believe it's Dexter.

Boondock Saints, anybody?
Is it blasphemy to say that these two actors are nowhere near as interesting as they were 15 years ago? I mean, if you're doing movies with Ben Stiller (De Niro) or Matthew McConaughey (Pacino), then I really don't care about you. Between the two of them, they've made about one and a half good movies in the past 10 years -- Analyze This and Any Given Sunday. Yawn.

It looks pretty entertaining to me, like a solid 90 minute investment. I thought that was the point of movies anyway.
If you want to be stimulated intellectually go read us some Yates, show us what a treat that is.

Gun Gun Gun, that was said more often then "is" or "ok"
I now believe they like guns more then there badges.
This movie should be cool, but it isn't.
The "Sympathy for the Devil" has never been feeled more out of place.
And Dennehy is the killer, he is always the killer!

Some thoughts...
It's a known fact that this is the first time both actors have appeared in the same frame - in focus - in the same film.
Fifty-Cent is cast as a supporting actor? Who the fuck made that call? Fiddy can't act. Was the budget so blown on the dynamic dago duo of Pacino and DeNiro that the [ahem] star of "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" got a speaking (mumbling) role?
There's a punch thrown in the trailer that comes nowhere near hitting the guy who falls. Couldn't someone have seen that and decided to retake it?
Pacino's voice is sounding more and more like Yoda's: "Get high on your own supply you must not!"
Wow... a Rolling Stones song in a movie starring Deniro. Scorcese called, he wants his soundtrack back.
I don't think Donny Wahlberg is a good actor. He simply acts better than anyone expected. Exceeding low expectations does not a good actor make.
I'm going to see this movie and I hope to God it doesn't suck. If it does, I'll bust a cap (to use the parlance of the times) at the screen. Just like I did at "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."
