the best actors on earth together

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2004)

I watched this movie yesterday for the third time and I did appreciate it much more than other times. Maybe the plot is not that original but with such a great cast you remain wordless: Al Pacino is a cop in love with his job, far tougher than every criminal he ever tried to catch but very sensitive at the same time. De Niro is a lonely robber falling for a lonely girl he decides to escape with after the last heist. Their destinies cross and when making their acquaintance they realize they esteem each other symmetrically. At the end of the picture I don't get to root for the cops but I hope Neill will manage to get away with the cute Amy Brenneman (really sad character) despite his being a ruthless killer. Should I decide whether De Niro or Al Pacino was more brilliant and effective in playing his role I would say that among these two gorgeous actors Pacino was the best.. he's perfect in the part of the exhausted detective, but as-well professional and so smart that he never fails. As for the other ones, a special mention for Natalie Portman, then not so famous but very expressive
