SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

geauxtigerswhodat It started a little slow. But as I watched I ready got into it.

blrnani Definitely a comedy that uses the crime context as a backdrop. Pacino takes a 28-year rap and keeps his mouth shut. On the day he gets out, his best friend (Walken) is supposed to kill him - because the kingpin's son got in the way (terminally) of a Pacino bullet during the shootout that preceded his arrest. Otherwise he will die too. When he hesitates, the threat is extended to his granddaughter (who he has been watching over without her knowing who he is). That pushes him to the decision that will lead to a Butch Cassidy style end scene. But that is preceded by a Viagra stoked visit to a bordel, the springing of their get-away driver (Arkin) from a rest home, a wild drive in a stolen souped up coupe, the rescuing of a multiple rape victim and setting up her opportunity to exact revenge. There are also quieter moments that border on the maudlin but help to reinforce the sense of old cameraderie and a generation of criminals who have a sense of morality that is not shared by the younger generation. It is on that premise that my enthusiasm for the film falls down - I know it's an unjust world in many respects, but most of us are doing our best and equating criminals (who do not take from the rich to give to the poor) with morality is one of the things that undermines those efforts. However, those 3 great actors have earned the right to fulfill a few dreams of their own onscreen and they were never in the role category to be included in the Expendables retirement fund for former action heroes ;o)

rioplaydrum I am really confused as to how anybody could have liked this film at all. Seriously. 15 minutes of it was all me and my girlfriend could take.There is so much wrong with this movie it's hard to know where to begin.First off, the dialog between characters is unbelievably boring and slow. To see this kind of work out of veteran actors was embarrassing. I'd swear Pachino was either doing it on purpose or he's had a stroke. Really awful.Christopher Walken was equally dumbed-down and wooden. We didn't even watch long enough to get to Arkin.Many times when watching a bad movie, the poorness of the story usually has unintended comedic quality for that reason alone. This picture can't even provide that.It's just random, confusing and completely void of any kind of rhythm or personality.Thank God I only paid 2$ for it the bargain store, because now my copy is going to the fine folks at GoodWill.No, scratch that. It will be thrown away. I can't in good conscious let some other sucker plunk down hard earned money for it.That wouldn't be right.

nmlal68 I had no expectations whatsoever when I put the player on and had this movie rolling. And what a great surprise it was when I saw myself tremendously enjoying a great movie with two of my beloved actors, Pacino and Walken, who superbly underacted their roles to produce a magnificent climax from beginning to end.Oh man, it was such a delight to watch these two veteran actors, acting side by side as smoothly as breathing, giving the impression of having a great time all along. Everything so simple, so cool!The movie was just fun, sentimental, even dark, supported by an amazing blues-rock soundtrack and a fantastic all around acting.One might argue it's not really a great movie. I don't care. For me it was! It made me feel real good!
