 Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her $2.99 I rented this not knowing I had seen the last half one late night probably on IFC. Wow now I get all the connections. Really good flick  88 Minutes $14.94 Just caught this on cable tv and I am thankful for three things after watching it: 1. I did not pay money to see it in the theaters 2. I did not pay money to buy the DVD 3. I did not pay money to rent the DVD I would not send my worst enemy into the theater to watch this mess of a movie. I have never seen Pacino look so bored in front of the camera. I think he realized what a stinker the movie he was making would be and so just went through the motions. It doesn't help that Pacino is really starting to look his age, thus making him old, tired, and bored. I would hope a man of his enormous talent would be so picky and choosy about what movies he agrees to be in at this stage in his life. For the life of me I don't know what Pacino saw in the script, but whatever it was supposed to be, the end result was a terrible movie. The other one star reviewers have done a good job of explaining what made the movie so bad, so I won't repeat them. Just know this is probably the worst Pacino film I have ever seen. Actually forget about Al, this would have been a terrible movie regardless of who was in the starring role. This is not so much a review as a warning to stay far away from this movie. If you decide not to read any of the one star reviews and buy it anyway, well then all I can say is you get what you deserve! |
