I thought it was a good movie. It had the elements of a classic cop movie, and not today's typical unbelievable action scenes.

Great actors... that's about it. Story was lame, first half of the movie doesn't draw you in. Camera work, I don't know, is plain and seems low budget.

The movie was too predictable. From the begining, we all knew who the real badguy was. Oh well, try again.

I had just returned from my Outer-Space mission to Neptune, when Mario Lopez called to go watch this movie. Robert DeNiro (or Bob, as his friends like to call him) was at his best in this movie... even better than his lead-performance as Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. Al Pacino, fresh from his role in The Cosby Show was incredible, and should even be considered to play Donny Osmond in the upcoming Marie & Donny Osmond Go To Positano movie. A definite 10 out of 10!

OK movie... thank you to Al Pacino and Robert De Niro... just another story of NYPD cops... nothing new... not a good performance... NO BAD Just "6" because without Al Pacino and Robert De Niro this movie will be "3" or "4"

It kept me guessing about what was going on. I saw it at the Drive-in while it was rainy and foggy, which added to the mood of the film. Top notch actors the story was good. You should check this one out.

Excellent story line, with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. De Niro & Pacino are great in their role as NY Police Officers, which is further augmented by an impressive cast of supporting actors. Impressed!

Anything with DeNiro & Pacino, I love it! This was a pretty good movie, not the greatest but it was about time these two teamed up again. Now if Stiller and DeNiro make another "Meet the..." maybe Pacino can guest star too. I didn't think this movie was too long, just right and entertaining enough.

The names of the main actors are the only thing mentioning. Robert and Al are legends and for this reason I was drawn to see the movie. However, it was a total disappointment.

DeNero and Pacino are completely wasted on this badly written and directed piece - 50 Cent cant even talk it's a ridiculous performance - Deniro is in Fockers mode (pantomime mennacing) rather than Raging bull mode - Pacino puts in a fair performance - Go and see it if you have a really low IQ or if you are easily pleased dont expect anything but a poor generic film.

This is a very good story made into an excellent movie. It is well directed and very well acted. The plot has the necessary twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. The clincher, of course, is the excellent performance of its two stars De Niro and Pacino."Heat" was terrific. But "Righteous Kill" is even better for reasons you will discover when you see this great pix.

I'm sure this movie could have been alot greater than it was. It started off slow and boring, and became more and more typical as time went on. It could have been better written. It's worth seeing in theatres I guess.

I enjoyed the plot of the movie. The characterization of the actors was well thought out in my opinion. Yes its true there is some swearing, but what else do you expect with this kind of movie?! I think it adds a nice touch haha. Would I recommend someone to go see it or rent it? Sure. Would I watch it again? Why not?! Would I buy it? No.

Maybe Pacino and DeNiro should have held off co-staring until a Scorcese film came along or something 'cause they totally wasted an opportunity to be great in this stinker of a movie. I was so bored that I honestly didnt care what happened. The whole production was lazy... when you cant even manage to outshine 50cent or Donnie W. You know your career has fallen way down. Dont bother even wasting the 5 bucks for the DVD rental... stream it online if you have insomnia, it will cure it right up.

Loved it! Both Pacino and DeNiro were amazing. I truly didn't see the twist coming! Even 50 Cent was better. Apparently took a few acting lessons since his last movie.

Always a controversial subject: who deserves to die? Handled with a light touch, nevertheless delivers a hammer blow. De Niro, Pacino, c'mon! What's not to love?

This film was good, but not great. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro were incredible co stars, and they worked really well together with what they had. I had really high expectations for this movie, but it did not reach them. There was no lack of action, but some of the action was unnecessary. The storyline greatly lacked. The movie did have a nice ending though. It also had its funny moments, but they weren’t enough. This could have been a much better film. I almost regret watching it.

Wow - don't expect fire and amazement like Heat. This movie was relatively boring and I was disappointed in the Slow dried up plot. If it wasn't for the acting - which by the way was semi decent, including Donnie W, excluding 50, it would of been a total flop.

With these two film icons, you go in expecting so much. I love these guys! But this film just didn't hit the Mark for me. Both actors came across tired and even bored with the whole production. But the ending was good and really caught me off guard.

I enjoyed this movie, though I thought it could have been better. Didn't expect the ending. It caught me by surprise. The wife didn't like it thought. Waiting to see the new Shia Labeouf movie "Eagle Eye". This one looks good.

Honestly I think that the movie deserves a little lower, because while the acting wasn't horrible the plot was just... pointless pretty much. Anyone with half a brain could tell what the plot twist is after the first scene and the movie's entertainment value seemed to rest solely on that plot twist. Not to mention while some have questionable ethics, there were really no bad guys in this film besides the murder victims... Kind of makes the whole message of the movie kind of pointless.

At a glance one would think 'finally a movie that isn't supported by digital graphics and comic books'. Though after watching this surprise rain storm, you leave the theater realizing that a talented cast cannot make up for poor production. The plot is blatantly similar to the Showcase product 'DEXTER', even right down to the narrating effect. Though in comparison I found the television show to be more appealing and entertaining by far. In my opinion, purchase the first season of DEXTER for the same price you will waste on an evening of disappointment.

Vintage DeNiro Pacino treasure. Storyline may be a little unilateral but getting Robert and Al in a movie together is hard to pass up.

What a pile of garbage. When I read 50 Cent was in this. That should have been the red flag. I figure maybe he'll get shot early in the movie then it'll get better. Nope I was wrong. Cheesy ending that has been done 100 times already. I think it's time for Pacino and De Niro to retire if they're going to continue to play in garbage like this. Save your money or bring a pillow it feels like a 4 hr movie.

Al Pacino was good in this movie. De Niro looked like he had a tack stuck in his butt through most of the movie. A waste of 2 very talented actors. If you really want to see it rent it.

Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are two of the most intense actors in the business. Normally when one sees them in a movie, one can expect stellar and daunting performances. I felt that in this movie, these two powerhouses were competing with one another to out subdue each other. Their performances were quiet, almost timid. Maybe they did that on purpose, maybe the director wanted that out of fear that the two of them would tear apart the screen if left to their own predilections. In any case, it didn't work for me. Maybe I was expecting too much of something else?

Terrible script, very sexist and a predictable plot. Pacino and DiNero were caricatures of themselves. I have seen better directing in VFS student films. Don't pay to see this movie!

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
Great fun with Al and Bobby! This is a terrific film that grabs a hold of you from the beginning and doesn’t let you go. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are great as two aging cops. They poke fun at themselves and even joke around about 1960’s and 1970’s TV shows I remember watching as a kid. Not to spoil it but one of the victim’s names was Bobby Brady. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination about how they joke about that. They also poke fun at Underdog! Carla Gugino is terrific as the forensic investigator who likes to play rough in the bedroom. The suspense is maintained through the film and the ending completely caught me off-guard.

Disappointed but it was nice to see Donnie... a LITTLE bit...

I have seen the past reviews and I knew these reviewers are usual wrong. This was great to watch arguably with two of the best actors in the past 30 years. I love these guys working together in the movie. They look and play the parts perfect as partners and best friends. Great surprises in the plot not predictable like other reviews have written. What fun is it, if people are trying to solve the story in the first 10 minutes. Just go and relax and let the movie play out. This is my advise to all reviewers. Very body thinks they know everything. Good movie, worth seeing.

For 2 really good actors they should of pick a different movie to do together the director and the producer did not use there full potential, I thought it should of been better, it was ok and towards the end was a good surprise but like I said it could of been a lot better dont expect a lot of action in this movie.

The story line of this movie wasn't that bad but I couldn’t believe the language in the movie. It seemed like the "F" word was in every sentence. There was also scenes of sexuality that added nothing to the plot and only made the movie feel awkward.
