Have to agree. Al Pacino has been my favorite actor for many years. But would I pay to see him today? No, he’s too damned old. The actors who’ve aged most successfully, IMO, are Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, and Clint Eastwood.
“Don’t you understand what you are doing?”
I like good movies. If I thought DeNiro had any serious influence over political thought in this country I might be concerned.
But he doesn’t, so I’m not.
Funny how? What’s funny about him?
I’m guessing that in this movie Hoffa’s disappearance will be blamed on Donald Trump.
“The actors who’ve aged most successfully, IMO, are Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, and Clint Eastwood.”
There’s no arguing with that. All terrific actors and Eastwood, who is also an incredible director.
You got a better theory?
I like all the mob movies and don’t tire of them somehow. I won’t bother to see this in the theatre but will check it out when it makes its way to netflix or something.
Agreed
Be interesting to see if De Niro becomes box office poison.
It’s on my wishlist.
Previous Story about Robert DeNiro. Personally I hope this story makes him famous. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3725881/posts
I don’t have any theories, tbh.
I don’t know what it says about me, but I like mob movies, too, plus prison movies and military movies.
It's going straight to Netflix, with a brief theatrical release just for Oscar eligibility.
On a related note, have Pacino and Scorsese ever worked together? I'm scratching my head to think of something but I just can't.
Well I saw where De Niro’s company, Tribeca Productions has money in this thing.
I wouldn’t see anything with De Niro in it anyway.
I wouldn’t care if De Niro was the world’s greatest actor and this was the world’s greatest movie. Not one thin dime of my money is going to end up in that dick’s pocket.
My favorite Pacino performance is “Glengarry Glenn Ross”.
It’s like he knew everything about Kevin Spacey even then.
Warning: A LOT of profanity (Hey, it’s ‘Glengarry Glenn Ross’)
