Righteous Kill finds legendary actors, Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino, on the same side of the fence playing two New York City Detectives tracking a serial killer. This is quite a contrast since we last saw these two legends on screen in Michael Mann’s epic thriller, Heat.
Heat (one of the best movies of the nineties), was a classic cat and mouse thriller, Pacino playing good guy, DeNiro a lifelong criminal on the brink of a massive heist. The two legends go head to head in a masterful face off between good cop just doing his job and a criminal steadfast in his forbidden ways.
Thirteen years later we get to see this dynamic duo on the same side, an intriguing development if there ever was one. The script offers the scenario of two cops tracking a killer, who has struck again after several years causing cops to question whether they put the wrong suspect behind bars. The film also stars rapper 50 cent (Curtis Jackson), John Leguizamo and Donnie Wahlberg.
Righteous Kill serves up the capital I in intrigue and the mere mention of all these actors sharing the screen together is enough to put my rear in the seat. Who’s with me? We’ll surely find out when this film opens September 12.
