Serpico this is NOT! (But what is?)

Al Pacino, you know him, you love him, and in this movie, thank the Movie Gods above, Al Pacino is in this movie. (otherwise skip it)

Certainly not going to make any top ten list of Al Pacino movies. Considering the likes of: The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon, And Justice for All, Donnie Brasco, Heat, Serpico, Sea of Love, Scareface, the list could go on and on!

This movie is more suited for the likes of Tommy Lee Jones. The main character Graham, is seen through most of the film, barking orders and acting like an FBI agent looking for the Harrison Ford in "The Fugetive"

This type of acting does not suit Uncle Al very well. He's way too deep of an actor for this type of material. But none the less its tolerable watching Al (Graham) running all over Seattle Wa, trying to solve whatever the heck is going on.

This is a fair movie, but replay value will be low. If you watch it once, you will be lucky if you see it again.

Sorry Al, I love you man. But this sure ain't your best work. Maybe heavy use of the "F" word might have helped? Not sure?

Do you like this review?

    I liked it too. You're right about it not being one of HIS ten best. But it would be hard to top those movies you mentioned. This one's okay. Probably a 3 or 3 1/2 star for me.
