Cruising for Bruising Entertainment

9 years, 1 month ago at Jan 26 21:53
Possibly my least favorite Pacino role... before I saw '88 Minutes'. I was so disappointed in this film, seeing that was starring Pacino and directed by the wild Friedkin, who had not disappointed to this point of me watching his films.

I actually finished it but struggled through it. Luckily he made up for the weakness of this film with 'To Live and Die in LA'

"11.5. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Paul Sorvino lähettää Al Pacinon, joka ei ole koskaan imenyt kyrpää, peitetehtäviin, koska tämä näyttää homolta. Friedkin troolailee uhrien, murhaajan ja Pacinon yhdennäköisyydellä niin, että Pacino pelkää olevansa homo ja/tai murhaaja. Viikset pelastavat murhatuksi tai poliisin kaltoinkohtelemaksi tulemiselta. Nahkahomosploitaatio fistauksineen on aivan mahtavaa tavaraa ja on helppo uskoa, kuinka tuo on raivostuttanut kriitikoita, jotka toki esii"
