DEAN M.

I thought this movie was good. De Niro and Pacino both played their parts great. The ending was unpredictable because they guide you to think the other way from the beginning. Don't watch this movie when you are tired because it will test your attention span. It moves very fast from scene to scene with a lot of fast talking. I also thought the story was very good with suspense. This movie is definitely worth watching.

I expected more from a DeNiro-Pacino movie, but other than that it was ok. Decent thriller. Can't deside if it would have been better or worse with out the stars.

Very good movie. It was not what I expected, from the movie beginning, but after I started paying attention :) I could not stop. You must pay attention! Enjoy

Like a lot of the reviews, I thought this movie was slow and boring. It was also a bit confusing to follow. It all only becomes clear at the VERY end of the movie. The best part is the last 10 mins. I hate when you have to sit through a movie that long for it to get any good. So glad I didn't pay to see this in the movies!

If you like Pacino and De Niro (and who doesn't) you will like this movie. It does not have quite the intensity and drama of "Heat" and the storyline is a little weak and unbelievable but it is still enticing and the actors hold your interest throughout.

I worked through this and "think" I was surprised at the ending. It had overtones of Jack the Ripper and Zodiac but was unique. I wonder how the two stars actually worked together? :-)

Sorry, these two old guys need to retire. Very slow script, no pizzazz anywhere.

This was a good, classic DeNiro and Pacino movie. It was not their best, but it was good. After seeing Heat, it will be hard to give anything with the two together a stellar rating.
