overrated

Rating: 3/10 (5 January 2005)

The simple fact that a movie contains two great actors does not make it a great movie. The interaction scenes between the two feel forced in writing and in the acting. The movie suffers from a sub-standard plot.
In the end he does not drop and run. It makes no sense. The ending is forced into the good guy wins Hollywood ending. If he had gotten away it would have made much more sense.
Often when I have have mentioned that this movie is sub-par others have reacted with shock, "Its Pacino and Dinero!," they always reply. Then I ask what makes the movie any good and "Pacino/Dinero" is the only response they can come up with.
