ShangLuda Admirable film.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Smoreni Zmaj Big disappointment. I can not say that this movie is bad cause it is not, but it is definitely inappropriate for such legends as Pacino and De Niro. Story is OK and nothing more than OK. Idea is unoriginal, twist is predictable, there is no tension. I wasn't bored, but I could stop watching at any point without feeling of incompleteness and wondering how it ends. Beside that, however big they are, some roles are inappropriate to Pacino and De Niro age. Same as we would not take 15 year old girl to act someone's grandma, it is completely unconvincing when two 70 years old grandpas act active street cops, run around, jump fences, get into fights and such, while one of them has relationship with twice younger colleague. Unconvincing and stops audience to get connected with the story. Cops that age are already retired and even those near retirement don't do what this two guys do in this movie. Lousy...7/10 is too much, but, again, it's Pacino and De Niro, their performance always deserve higher rating.
adonis98-743-186503 Two veteran New York City detectives work on a case of serial executions of criminals who escaped justice. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are terrific talented actors unfortunately this movie isn't it's boring and uses violence in order to do something the same director of this movie also directed 88 Minutes a film starring Pacino again and although it wasn't perfect at least i had fun with it but this one? Not even close the whole ending ruined the movie for me showing who was the killer and it was just laughable i would advice you to skip this and just see something else Heat or Godfather Part II but this one? Not even close they basically ruined 2 great actors with this one..
ISScyborg ...dialog was better, I don't like dialog in this movie, most of the time was poor, without any good ideas, without passion and so on. Also directing was also terrible, I don't like how some or most of the scenes shown in this movie, I had a feeling that something is missing there or that they were too fast satisfied with the individual scenes and they didn't do enough for better scenes.What I like in this movie are Robert De Niro and Al Pacino(I like first little more), also I like Carla Gugino because she was hot in this movie:) That why I gave this movie 4/10 stars.Maybe was mistake for such a movie(it's not movie like Heat) to put two big stars like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in same movie and both have main role. Maybe one character needs younger actor beside (I think Turk could be younger detective, and Rooster could be De Niro or Pacino)What I like in this movie beside Robert De Niro and Al Pacino is the story. I like almost the whole story, so I feel that movie could be much much better with better dialog, with better directing and with only one big star on main role.
FilmBuff1994 Righteous Kill is a better than average movie with a decent storyline that is certainly a lot more promising that it turned out and a great cast.I was really excited to watch this movie,the story sounded so original and thrilling,and with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in the leads I thought it was definitely going to be great,and while it was certainly not awful,it was very disappointing.De Niro and Pacino's performance a good,but it was enough to making up for the screenplay that has a lot less thrills and excitement that I thought and is at times very predictable.I felt like the cast only did this for money because I find it unlikely that they genuinely thought it was a great script,however,the cast is definitely the reason why I am not giving this movie a lower score,because their professional acting made some really poorly written scenes much more bearable.Righteous Kill is not an awful film,it certainly is watchable,but unless you just want to see every film with Robert De Niro or Al Pacino,you're better off avoiding this one.Two New York cops investigate a series of murders where the victims are criminals who have escaped justice.
