De Niro and Pacino are reunited in the upcoming ‘Righteous Kill’, directed by Jon Avnet. Check out the trailer:
Something looks very ‘paycheck’ about this project, and as much as I love to see a reunion of the duo who made ‘Heat’ so compelling as antagonists, expecting Jon Avnet to make a work at the standard of Michael Mann is like expecting to make a beautiful lasagne but substituting the gourmet mince for dog food.
This might be a bit harsh after a 2 minute preview, but it’s just my gut talking.
