It's a good movie, just not that great.

Rating: 6/10 (8 June 2010)

Put De Niro and Al Pacino together in a movie (Well, actually acting together since there weren't any scenes like that in "The Godfather: Part 2") and it will definitely be a great movie. For me it wasn't the case.
I don't know where all this praise about this film come. It is just a average good guy/bad guy movie. The plot isn't incredible. The supposedly "greatest action sequence in the history of movies" wasn't that good also. The script was so ordinary and neither Pacino nor De Niro were great in their roles. Their characters weren't really memorable, but the average performances contributed a lot. I know they could do so much better. They are two of the greatest actors of all time for me. I'm still waiting for an excellent movie with them in it.
Still it is a watchable movie. Perhaps it gets better the second time. I have seen it just once, so I don't know about that, but I might actually give it a try.
