Has anyone seen this movie? I love Pachino, just wondering if this is worth picking up

jhansla · 09-12-2008, 08:35 PM

Haven't seen it, but I've heard it's terrible. Here's a review

not worth it at all. movie was complete shit. Pacino is my favorite actor but unless this gets a flawless transfer there is no way i am picking this up

This movie was plagued with release issues, couldn't have been a good sign

Not worth grabbing, even for a fan of Pacino and Leelee Sobieski.

alexakajeff · 09-13-2008, 02:12 AM

I saw it, it was terrible. Don't even rent it.

GGX · 09-13-2008, 02:18 AM

Didnt think it was terrible. Though it was quite generic.

DeeEmEcks · 09-13-2008, 02:22 AM

Everyone above me got it absolutely right, this movie is complete garbage.

TheForce8686 · 09-13-2008, 02:24 AM

I cant think of the last time Al Pacino made a really good movie. I think it was probably Dick Tracy.

tommyboy81 · 09-13-2008, 02:26 AM

MAN!!! I was looking forward to seeing this. The commercials and previews look good.

kwayneg · 09-13-2008, 03:06 AM

Not even worth a rent, complete garbage.

subzero9001 · 09-13-2008, 03:07 AM

It wasnt that bad i saw it at a advanced screening and i thought it was pretty decent

Moviemaniack1993 · 09-13-2008, 03:39 AM

Yeah I do not get why everyone is harping on this movie just because it got terrible reviews. It entertained me for the duration of it. I mean, without Pacino I wouldn't have even bothered but it was not all that bad. At least rent it. But I wouldn't buy it.

Thats disappointing

The Insider. Donnie Brasco. Any Given Sunday. Carlito's Way. Scent of a Woman. GlenGarry Glen Ross.

I did enjoy Righteous Kill as well.

Exactly. Not a single good movie on that list.

Funny thing about this movie, is that it was released some time ago in Europe. It appeared on cable TV 2-3 months ago, and was recently aired on a commercial OTA channel a week ago. So it's already gone through all stages of DVD releases and TV airings, so I was a little surprised when I saw it had not been released in the US until now.
