Al Pacino's downfall

Rating: 1/10 (23 February 2007)

I love Al. I adore him and his movies. to me he's the best actor of all time. I adore his so much that i have an A4-Size Serpico poster hanging on my bed. And when I saw this film on DVD, i couldn't wait for it to be over.
The story's boring and the acting's nothing special from all the actors. I personally can't stand matthew mc, it was obviously Al Pacino's performance I was looking out for. But I was truly disappointed this time. The story drags on and on and drags Pacino with it. I quickly grew tired of his speeches and of matthew flexing his muscles at every opportunity. The only moment I found interesting was when the millionaire pisses on matthew's face. that was the only part. I was especially horrified to see Al do his 'fit and spastic' routine again, the one he did in his first movie, panic in needle park, when his character OD'd and in godfather 3. now he does it again - as a joke! he admits that he's acting! That scene put down this movie along with all his previous classics.
If you want to see the true magical legendary Al Pacino - serpico, dog day afternoon, godfather trilogy, scarface, devils advocate, glengarry glen ross.....even S1m0ne. forget about this, it'll just make you mad.
