An average movie

To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this flick but since I’m a huge fan of Al Pacino, I still wanted to check it out. Basically, it is one of his most obscure movies and it was barely seen when it was released. In my opinion, the main attraction was to see Al Pacino playing a totally different character than his usual tough guys. Indeed, his character is this time some kind of has-been, a loser. Pacino was really convincing and quite spellbinding showing some impressive acting range and the depth of his skills. Unfortunately, the movie was not really great whatsoever. I mean, it was definitely intriguing but not much more than that. Both Kim Basinger and Téa Leoni both gave some interesting performances but their characters were rather underwritten in my opinion. Basically, it was an interesting movie thanks to Pacino’s impressive performance but that was basically the only interesting thing this movie really had to offer. Still, to conclude, even though the movie itself was rather underwhelming, I still think it is worth a look, especially you are interested in Pacino’s work.
