Aptly Named Movie

Rating: 5/10 (1 December 2002)

When will I stop going to see a Pacino movie expecting Michael Corleone? Al no longer acts...he just looks haggard and rasps...again...and again. Slow moving and predictable, I had the exact opposite of insomnia...about a 10 minute nap...but it was still on when I awoke. Hilary Swank does add a bit of naive realism to this Northern Lights Morality Play as a bright-eyed young police detective, and it was hard to not laugh at Robin Williams no matter what he does. But this one just got stupider and stupider, climaxed by a seriously stupid ending. I wished I'd taped this one in case I ever have trouble dozing off at night....
