Pacino at his best!

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 1999)

I was not really in the mood to see this movie. We argued over whether to see this or The Bone Collector and I'm glad my companion won!

Al Pacino has been wearing on my nerves in his latest endeavors and I really didn't feel like sitting through another one of his acting tirades. Imagine my delight when I found his character and his acting to be sensational. Christopher Plummer was another standout in this cast and Russell Crowe was fantastic. My only dilemma now is whether Pacino or Kevin Spacey should be up for the best actor academy award!
The story moves quickly and thank goodness for that due to it's length, the only time I checked my watch was to see if the end was near or I could enjoy more of this.
I've decided I must be a Michael Mann fan because I loved this movie and Heat. I can only name a handful of movies where the soundtrack has been noticeable and this was definitely one of them.
I'm not the type that checks out camera angles and other subtleties, I just like to get some bounce for my buck and this movie certainly delivers.
