    This isn't a bad movie, it's just not a good movie either! I had absolutely no expectations going into it, so that's not the reason for a 6/10 rating. I have not been too impressed with Pacino's movie selection as of late (88 Minutes, need I say more?!!!) I may let slip a few SPOILERS in writing my review. Righteous Kill should have been much better. The opening credits tease you into thinking you are about to see a sharp and moving story... but the movie itself turns out to be a much slower progressing storyline. Yes, I loved the twists it took, but they did not use those twists enough, and the rest of the progress is just too slow-moving and does not keep our interest. In other words, this movie drags a lot. Yes, there are some pretty good Pacino/De Niro moments, however, some of the better ones are the result of editing their responses one next to the other as opposed to them feeding off each other on-screen. And seeing (or almost seeing) De Niro in some of those darker sex scenes was just not right. It didn't fit very well. He either did not sell it very well, or they just plain did not edit it well enough for us to get a better appreciation of it. I know why they had those scenes in the movie (will not tell you why), but it just wasn't done the right way. My belief, if you are going to do something, then go all out and do it right. Of the two, I would say Pacino delivers the best lines, seems to flow more effortlessly. But all in all, having these two "once heavyweights" in a movie together is not enough to give this movie a decent rating. A generous 6/10, not bad, but really should have been way better.
