Al Pacino
The Recruit (2003)
Watchable only for its star power and scarce caffeine kicks...awfully predictable.
William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (2004)
Radford takes a stylish but decidedly low-key tack, demanding naturalist acting to crawl under the viewer's skin.
Two for the Money (2005)
...And Justice for All (1979)
Pacino at the top of his game...[but] the film's lack of faith in its audience is glaringly apparent.
Bobby Deerfield (1977)
A resonant Pacino...though ultimately a misfire, suggests that there are worse things to call a movie than 'a curiosity.'
88 Minutes (2008)
The Godfather: The Coppola Restoration (2008)
The most significant achievement in the last forty years of American cinema.
Righteous Kill (2008)
The new thriller that emphatically pairs [De Niro and Pacino] qualifies as a historic event, whether it's any good or not.
Any Given Sunday (1999)
Stone isn't interested in merely bashing modern football:
Any Given Sunday
looks at the best and worst of the sport.
Heat (1995)
A stealth epic, framing an urban jungle and making its own kind of contemporary history by pairing acting giants Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in what has arguably become the preeminent cops-and-robbers movie.
Scarface (1983)
People I Know/Albino Alligator/Ordinary Decent Criminal (2002)
Stand Up Guys (2012)
The awfulness of the narrative is plain to see, and yet...no one can say
Stand Up Guys
lacks personality.
Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood (2019)
Content finally joined by the movie gods to form—for at last, the moving-picture magpie has lighted on Hollywood as his setting and, in no small part, his subject.
