One hour too long

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2002)

Once I got used to Pacino's "on again, off again" southern (?) accent, I realized that this could have been a good "Law and Order" episode. Hilariously miscast, the two aging protagonists argue their philosophical differences with their hands around each other's throat. I'm sure that most of their wheezing and panting ended up on the cutting-room floor. The dog in the alley was the most realistic character and best represented the theme of this movie.
