Righteous Kill (2008)
Release Date: September 12, 2008 Studio: Overture Films Director: Jon Avnet Screenwriter: Russell Gerwitz Starring: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, 50 Cent, Donnie Wahlberg, Carla Gugino Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama, Thriller MPAA Rating: R (for violence, pervasive language, some sexuality and brief drug use) Official Website: RighteousKill-themovie.com Plot Summary: A pair of veteran New York City police detectives are on the trail of a vigilante serial killer. After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated Detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for retirement, but aren't. Before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before. Like the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four line poem justifying the killing. When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system. His mission is to do what the cops can't do on their own--take the culprits off the streets for good. The similarities between the recent killings and their earlier case raise a nagging question: Did they put the wrong man behind bars? |

 Righteous Kill - True Acting Greats! Not many seem to be overwhelmed by the story in this film. It felt like a typical detective episode in some television series. Most critics agree on that, and so has the public, judging from the less than stellar box office. That said, everyone is very pleased to enjoy DeNiro and Pacino on the screen together as partners, for the first time in a significant manner. Although I wished for a better plot, paying attention to these very gifted talents as they interact together was well worth the price of admission. True acting greats!  |
