Pacino shines ... again!

Rating: Null/10 (5 April 2000)

Al Pacino, as usual does not disappoint; in particular the monologues in Chinatown and the climax stand out. I dont think anyone else could have saved this movie, essentially comprised of a mediocre plot, a half-assed cast, (someone tell me how this clown Keanu Reeves manages to get himself cast with stellar performers like Gary Oldman, Lawrence Fishburne et al?) Pitiful performances from Charlize Theron and Reeves aside, only Pacino's on-screen magnetism saves this movie from being a box-office bust it would have been!
