A nice distraction

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2007)

Follow up to the two earlier films (yes there are references to both) is better and more together than the second film but not as good as the first. Its more of the same with a plot (getting revenge on Pacino for screwing over Elliot Gould) thats a movie and not an excuse to party off screen.
A bit too leisurely for my tastes (plot threads meander too much before paying off nicely), its still a nice distraction. I liked it a great deal though I will say I was ambivalent until the end, which while not a great pay off was really good.
If you want to see it either do so on the big screen or wait for the widescreen DVD since this was shot in a glorious widescreen that will lose a great deal on full screen TV See it, it will distract you for 2 hours-you may not (probably won't) love it but you will like it a great deal.
