I like it

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 2004)

This was a very good movie but unfortunately I still haven't seen the original so I wasn't able to compare it to that. Al Pacino was riveting in his performance and I was able to feel his pain of what was happening to him throughout the duration. I thought this was one of Robin Williams better roles considering how I usually can't stand him except for say "Mrs. Doubtfire", "Good Will Hunting", and "Patch Adams". Hilary Swank did fine but as was said before, her character was fairly limited. She played the adorable apt pupil in high regards. The plot kept me intrigued and the dialog was clever for the most part. I still don't know anyone who can give an emotional-driven speech like Al! I recommend this film to anyone that likes police suspense movies and all Pacino fanatics like myself.
Final Call:
Movies: Would be worth the ticket price.
DVD Purchase: Of course!
Rental: A perfect choice.
