Long and convoluted

Rating: 5/10 (17 December 1999)

The writer and director had a big job on his hands...trying to give De Niro and Pacino both sympathetic and powerful roles. The movie was overlong in trying to establish a bond between the protagonists. Too bad a movie with two such great actors failed to deliver. I watched this on video and found myself fast forwarding through a lot of "filler". I gave it a 5......not a memorable film.
