An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I have always been a fan of Al Pacino, I thought I might as well give it a try. Basically, it is quite an obscure flick that Pacino had made between two of his best movies ‘Heat’ and ‘Carlito’s Way’. Apparently, Al Pacino decided to do this film as a personal favor to James Foley because he had a great time working with him on ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’. Honestly, it was a rather decent drama but nothing really remarkable and it is not really surprising that it is pretty much forgotten nowadays. Coming back to James Foley, it is actually one of those directors who had once massive critical hit, in his case, ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’, but then he never managed to really build up on this success and all his movies were rather watchable but never really amazing (I still have a weak spot for ‘Confidence’ though but it was still nothing really amazing to be honest). His last movie was already 7 years ago, ‘Perfect Stranger’, and it was seriously one of the most far-fetched and underwhelming thrillers I had seen for a very long time. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, even though it was nothing really amazing whatsoever, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Al Pacino’s work.
