Trash

Rating: 2/10 (30 September 2019)

I can't watch more than 30 minutes of this. And it goes on another 2? and a half? Yikes! Ashley Judd's incompetent performance does at least, though unintentionally, deliver one of the funniest lines ever: "Like, as in risk versus reward, baby!" Well, she got into her outfit well. Too bad that's as deep into the character as she managed to get. Al Pacino sleepwalked through this as he sleepwalked through so many roles, more or less playing the exact same guy with exactly the same gestures. Even putting the soap in the soap holder in the shower he's not in character. He's Al Pacino playing Al Pacino playing a crook. He stayed in this same role to sleepwalk through "Insomnia." Exact same guy. Same gestures to a T. Identical. How is that acting? Robert De Niro's love scene is simply unbelievable. It's preposterous! This guy has the sex appeal of an anvil. How a beautiful babe could get passionate about this lump of dirt is beyond me. Not only is he ugly but he's surly to boot. Did these guys mail their performances in or did they use a pay phone? Anyway. To torture or not to torture? It depends on whether or not I have insomnia tonight.
