The Teaser For De Niro & Pacino's RIGHTEOUS KILL Is Now Online!!
Merrick here...
Last week, we posted a set of lackluster reviews for this film. You can find them HERE and HERE.
Unsurprisingly, the teaser for the film is equally as...uncompelling (is that a word?).
Seems bizarre that you can throw De Niro and Pacino into the same movie and end up with something bland...but it's beginning to look like that's exactly what happened here.
THIS trailer...does nothing for me at all.
WHAT DO YOU THINK??

I dont think it looks bad, I think there is a long way to go. Hopefully, they will polish this thing up a bit. Lets not waste what could be an epic pairing.
-
the trailer has been up on yahoo for days now, and looks decent

I disagree Merrick, I had high hopes for Heat
by grammaton cleric binks
but I thought it sucked, but this looks interesting.
-
Harry Callahan learns his lesson from Magnum Force, and after he retires kills the bad guys who slipped through like David Soul, Robert Urich, and Hal Holbrook wanted him to. Better late than never.
-
Ok.. I worried when I heard who the director was. But high hopes aside, surely it's better to see these two guys in something like this (and together) than not to see them at all? Better to be a realist than an optimist, I think.
-
...oh yeah...
-
Vigilante justice. The rule of law is overrated.
-
I've heard nothing but crap from this movie, and that's not the best sign...still, considering the talent pool involved, why not?
BTW, HEAT rocked the boat, no questions.
Bone Movie!

I don't even know if I'm gonna be able to watch this
-
The coolest part about this trailer is the remixed "Sympathy for the Devil."
-
The music made me realize that Pacino looks more like Mick Jagger every day.
I second the Gugino comment. Why isn't this woman in more films? -
Deniro/Pacino - At the end of the day they're not mythical beasts - they're actors. They know their stuff, so lets see how it plays out.
-
DeNiro is back to being DeNiro... doesn't look like the bad comedies he's been doing. And Pacino is Pacino as always... I'm sure he yells alot in it... because yelling alot=good acting in the Al Pacino School of Acting. Looks great!
-
these guys have so rich and famous for so long the've lost any edge they once had. i mean hell, pacino's been Pacino in every movie since (inclunding!) godfather 3 (that didnt even feel like michael corleone anymore..it felt like pacino!). well ok, i'll give him glengarry and heat. As for deniro...jeebus. i'll give him casino (or as i like to call it goodfellas 2..same damn character!!!) but otherwise, what? analyse this?? they use to ACT...now they act like themselves. this seems like a some plain ol' run of the mill movie with 2 top name actors. i wish they saved this team up for something better. their scenes in Heat were great.
-
There's an interesting one to be had. Are these two just taking 'easy money' from a director/studio who must feel they've hit paydirt rather than woo a major artistic director who may not have faith in them anymore? Or.....
-
maybe its just seeing them both onscreen but i think i'll like this

VH1, Wednesday 9pm, during flavor of love - HULK Trailer
by orionsangels
Yep the new Hulk trailer i just saw footage. One shot was exactly like Ang Lee's version. Where Bana is sitting across that guy and he tells the guy, "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry". Then throws him out the window. Here it's Norton sitting across from another guy. Guy out the window, but this guy goes farther. Another shot is a closeup of Nortons angry eyes and green tint. The military rolling up on some lawn in the suburbs. -
"Last week, we posted a set of lackluster reviews for this film. You can find them HERE and HERE." Thank you for the spoiler warning on that first 'HERE'. Apparantly, that article contained a spoiler warning box on the headline - but that is lost when following a direct link and the piece doesn't warn you again. Thanks a lot Merrick.
-
And anyone who thought HEAT sucked should be banned from watching any movies ever again. Except those things with Ernest P. Worrell.
-
What a devastating thing to follow up HEAT with *this*. ugh. Then again, what was that film calleda few years ago teaming up Morgan Freeman & Gene Hackman? You'd figure that was an ace in the hole but the movie SUUUUUCKD.
-
i'm with merrick. as much as i want this to be good, i just can't say that it looks very promising. i bet pacino did this simply to secure theatrical distribution for 88 Minutes, which was on the fast track to going straight-to-DVD at some point. the cast is great (50 cent aside) but the execution looks painfully familiar. no offense to jon avnet but a deniro-pacino reunion should be reserved for a handful of elite directors. this looks bargain bin all the way, though i do love that bobby bit at the beginning -- watch your back. Please let this good to be... Knock on wood, fingers crossed.
-
You'll be happy to pull it up for a late night watch.
Nothing like a good old vigilante flick at 2:00 am. -
that rolling stones remix fucking sucked.
-
Don't get me wrong. I love Heat. It's a crime classic. DeNiro's and Pacino's performances are great. But I feel Michael Mann dropped the ball a bit with portraying the two icons on screen. It's not the fact they share only a couple of scenes - that's an awesome way of building the tension. The disapointment comes when those icons are in the same scene, playing off of eachother, but not in the same frame. For this I am discounting the many 'over the shoulder' shots. "Hey look, there's Pacino's face and DeNiro's shoulder in the same frame - woohoo!". A real shame. And now with Rightious Kill they are in the same frame a lot, but the film appears to be really sucky (and ruined for me because of this site's inabillity to keep its spoilers in check). Damn.
-
directed The Starter Wife. The friggin Starter Wife??!!!
-
Looks OK, nothing mindblowing. Which is, of course, a crime in itself
-
Seeing as your comment directly follows mine, and the only other poster who mentioned Heat is 24 posts up - I'm going to asume you're adressing me. To which I say, if you think my argument is that Heat was bad... YOU are a mentally challenged dick sucker. I never said anything of the sort and far from it. Learn to read.
-
Nobody is a mentally challenged dick sucker! Except the retarded penis lovers. But I have to say this.. I kept watching and the trailer for a Martin Lawrence movie started. Now I have to fry and eat my eyes.
-
Ehhhhhhhhh.
-
...Both similar, in that both look like DTV junk. I wish they would leave The Rolling Stones alone. Your not Martin Scorsese, your just some dude who makes money laundering ventures for Millenium films.
-
but this looks like it's going to be known as "that other film pacino and deniro were in." The trailer at least makes it look like pacino is better at phoning it in then deniro.
-
Please no more Rolling Stones songs in movies. At least for a few years.
-
You need a lot more than a fantastic mix och actors.
-
Directed by Jon Avnet. Need I say more? (okay, Mr. DeNiro looks really old, especially in the shot where he's kicking the guy on the floor; he looks like my grandfather...)
-
The time for DeNiro and Pacino to have double teamed like this was during the eighties or nineties. At best this movie feels like its been made purely because of the trend for resurrecting ageing hardmen(Stallone, Ford, Willis, etc). I'm still going to go and watch it though, because as prosaic as this film looks I still do believe that DeNiro and Pacino have that magic. Oh, and Carla Gugino? Fuck yeah!
-
Maybe not the greatest movie ever, but it should be fun nonetheless. I think that people are expecting too much from this. It will be fun to watch. It will be quotable. 50 does not have much of a speaking role, apparently (though I think he could be a good actor with some direction). I'll see this.
-
Cent? Meh.
-
1) Donnie Wahlberg is prominent in the credits but I didn't see him in the preview. He's prob the killer. 2) Heat is a classic and the scenes between Pacino and DeNiro are money. The sooner we all accept it, the better. 3) Good to see John Leguizamo back in a decent role or film. Hope this brings him back into the spotlight. 4) 50 Cent? puh-leeze. 5) Ultimately, this looks like a formulaic film but the law-and-order character actor brigade is in the trailer, so it should be good. decent at least. okay at worst.
-
Heat and should stick with Ernest movies why giving fellatio because I'm retarded according to certain individuals. First I saw it so long ago, maybe I could re-watch it and gain a new appreciation of it, but I doubt it. You had Deniro, Pacion, Kilmer, Judd, and Wes Studi (in a role other than playing a historical Indian figure). For me Wes Studi was the best part of the film. It was good to see him as an actor, not an Indian. I didn't think there was any chemistry, suspense, and Judd was wasted as eye candy. I like Michael Mann. Collateral was awesome, and the way Cruise and Foxx played off each other was great. It just didn't work for me in Heat.
-
According to a reliable source, the movie tested well, especially the lead performances. Besides, why does every movie these two are in have to be Art or Oscar-worthy or HEAT? Anyway, GOODFELLAS tested poorly. We all know how that turned out.
-
I love that movie. Joe Pesci owned, but everyone was great. Half the lines in that movie are classic. Henry gets arrested for the first time: Paulie "Ohhh, you busted your cherry." and so on...
-
"Heat is a classic and the scenes between Pacino and DeNiro are money. The sooner we all accept it, the better." Agreed on the observation that the acting is fantastic. But wouldn't it have been even better if the cinematography actually showed these two iconic actors on the same screen at the same time? All I'm saying. It dissapointed me a bit (in an otherwise flawless film).
-
This movie fucking sucks.
-
Opps, anyway, did anyone else notice the similarity of that drumbeat to Eminem's "8-mile" song? It reminded me of that and then up pops 50 cent. Not getting a good feeling about this one, but I'll check it out.
-
I dont think it will be mindblowing or anything but looks good
-
...has a GRRRRREAT ass!
-
"88 Minutes" looks awful as well. Jon Avnet has become the new Uwe Boll.
-
Hulk smash puny movie!
-
Can't wait for the sequel where their vacation in Florida is interrupted by a case the local cops "just can't crack"! Co-starring Jay-Z, big-pimpin!
-
I am not feeling this at all.
-
I just hope it doesn't end with a montage sequence. Or with Brian Dennehy talking about his dead pet frog.
-
Cady, comparing this POS to Goodfellas is high treason and you should be shanked because of it.
And as for this testing "well", maybe it's because they rejected all individuals with negative opinions (such as mine) to express themselves. Your name wouldn't happen to be 'Andy', would it? -
I like it. It's nice to see the big man looking like he's prepped to go out and just beat the ever-lovin' fuckin' shit out of anything that looks at him sideways (the way it should be). This looks like a good evenings DVD-hire and nothing much more (at this stage anyway). I hold out no hopes for it to be on the level of Heat (or any other good film they've ever made - Sea of Love, Midnight Run, Carlito's Way - "put film here") but then again, I never expected it would. Long live Filled-Out Deniro (and somewhat wasted looking Pacino)! Viva Pacino/Deniro! Viva I say, Viva!
