A Huge Disappointment.*

I can not even begin describing how excited I was for this film's release. I was waiting for it for months and months. I was expecting a classic De Niro/Pacino Blockbuster Gem, but it was anything but that. Yes, there were several entertaining to watch scenes, and the acting from both legends was great, with some great original lines, but that does not do this film justice. It was very predictable... read more

This movie just wasn't great, it had the cast, and we know they are capable, but this movie just didn't pull it off. In fact it didn't even come close! It might be that too many of people had expectations that this movie could rival the performances they made in Heat, which is not the case, and is why Heat will always remain one of my all time favourite movies, because they set the bar so high wit... read more

''Most people respect the badge. Everyone respects the gun.''

Two veteran New York City detectives work to identify the possible connection between a recent murder and a case they believe they solved years ago; is there a serial killer on the loose, and did they perhaps put the wrong person behind bars?

"Watched: 5.6. This wasn't at all that bad as I imagined. And those ratings confusing me really badly. Actually I don't understand at all why this have so low rating. The storyline of the movie goes over well and interestingly. And the final twist isn't surprised badly, but it was still exciting to watch until the end. Gentlemen, Pacino and De Niro make this movie and without them my scoring would drop a couple of stars. Seeing them play together just enough ground for this. "
