Yeah, the twist is that obvious."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 2.5/5 "Righteous Kill is so average that the standard bell curve can't calculate just how general it is."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 3.5/5 "Robert De Niro and Al Pacino save Righteous Kill from becoming another run-of-the-mill cop movie"   Filmcritic.com   Blake French 1.5/5 "Pacino. DeNiro. Armed and dangerous. In a cop drama. In NYC. Together. Written by the writer of Inside Man. Sounds great, doesn't it? Well, what could've gone so wrong?"   CinemaBlend.com   Brian Holcomb D- "Avnet is perhaps the last guy on a list of suitable directors to helm a Pacino/De Niro face off, but here we are, and Righteous Kill is expectedly ripe with flaws and teeming with idiocy."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 2/10 "Righteous Kill uses Karen (Carla Gugino) both to critique the male cops' sense of self-righteousness and be the victim."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "...the phrase phoning-it-in was practically invented for Pacino and De Niro's work here..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "Tough gravelly voiced Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, playing NYPD detectives, are the selling point for 'Righteous Kill.'"   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit .5/4 "One of the most patently imbecilic thrillers to come down the pike in many a moon."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C "If it weren't for the presence of De Niro and Pacino, this would be just another generic straight-to-DVD police drama. It would probably star Tim Daly and Stephen Baldwin."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "...a synthetic, spineless suspense piece that cobbles together all the familiar ingredients of sensationalistic cynicism on the gaudy backs of a sneering DeNiro and edgy Pacino"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D "Lurid, stupid cop melodrama...crammed with sequences so overwrought and dialogue so monumentally pseudo-tough as to be absolutely laughable. The celebrated stars...produce nothing but crude self-parody."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "A bleak and morally meaningless cop flick."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2/4 "There's nothing righteous to be found here."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "A derivative and increasingly silly crime thriller."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2.5/4 "At last, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino star in a film together. Too bad it's a fairly run-of-the-mill cop drama with an ending you'll see coming from miles away."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 1/5 "miamisi ora tis megalyteris arpahtis poy ehoyn kanei pote stin kariera toys o Pacino ki o De Niro, poiitika eironiko kai righteous poy tin kanoyn mazi"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis C+ "By the time the final reel winds down, you're left with a very typical, alarmingly predictable genre film."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr D "Lazy, muddled and so misdirected it should be a felony itself, "Righteous Kill" is nothing but a cheap trick."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "DeNiro is 65, Pacino is 68, and they look it. Not just physically: spiritually, too. They're exhausted."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/4 "The thing that shocked me most was how the movie felt like some cheap-o straight-to-DVD thriller. The production values - from cinematography to editing to musical score - are little more than adequate."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "Except for 50 Cent, who can't act a smidge, the actors are game but the script is tired."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "At this saggy point in their illustrious careers, De Niro and Pacino seem less like Beatles and more like Monkeys."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "Teria sido melhor se eles tivessem seguido o exemplo de Paul Newman e Robert Redford e interrompido a parceria enquanto esta ainda era trazia um histórico impecável."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1/5 "There is such a palpable lack of enthusiasm from the two stars that it feels at times as if the film has been entirely crafted out of rehearsal footage of them going through the material at quarter-speed in order to save their energy for the actual take."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 2.5/5 "This cop drama is far too ordinary to live up to the hype. Spiky and watchable, it doesn't really stretch anyone. Especially the audience."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "An overly decorated pinata afraid to expose the vacuum inside."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick C "Fans in need of a Pacino/De Niro hit can just watch the coffee-shop scene from Heat again: it's 20 times cooler and 80 minutes shorter."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux D "...a dud of a film that tries to be clever but fails miserably."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 5/10 "This cliche-filled crime thriller adds up to little more than a slow-paced episode of "Law & Order" with the real culprit telegraphed so far in advance that there's little suspense."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 3/10 "Good in the way that makes it worth catching on basic cable during the commercial breaks of something better."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 31) of 31 OFCS Rating: 13% Rotten Page   1
