Simply Riveting

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2001)

I saw this movie for the so called clash of DeNiro and Pacino and was rivited . This is truly a movie given extra weigtage by its two acting titans . DeNiro is subtle and understated .. at times a little bit too understated . Pacino is wild in this one giving one of his awesome flamboyant performances. To those who have criticized his performance as being over the top i must tell them that he character is addicted to drugs which explains his uncontrolled mannersims. I was disappointed by the coffee shop scene though Pacino is good in that scene using his incredible emotional range to show his character's complexities while DeNiro just keeps giving his 'the look' . Truly a great movie which can be viewed numerous times .
