RIGHTEOUS KILL (2008)

“Most people respect the badge, everyone respect the gun.”
Two legendary tigers (Pacino & De niro) return in the world of crime after a long time and naturally expectations were high but sorry to say that the tigers roared, preyed but ended as being toothless with their ringmaster (director) of the film. This is the most awaited film of the year for me & ultimately opens up as an average flick. The fault lies absolutely in the lame duck script n monotonous narration. The movie offers nothing new in any section except twist in the tale at the end. Although movie falls short in everything, its De niro’s strong act which makes you complete the film once started. Poor Pacino has nothing new to do except remaining shadow cop with De niro until his last 20 minutes act. Well the spark of the chemistry is there but it’s lackluster in presentation. Movie could have been made in better way.
A mediocre average entertainer… Nothing to miss…

Ratings- 5.5/10
