Righteous Killed

SAGWA. You can't blame anyone for being excited about this movie. De Niro and Pacino. That's Vito and Michael Corleone for alla youse! I was thinking that at best this movie could almost reach Godfather levels, at worst it'd be Michael Mann's Heat. Besides, I thought that these two wouldn't sign up for a bad script let alone a bad movie.
I was so wrong. Yes, they still had the presence of acclaimed greatness and they brought "it." But that was about it. Everything fell apart. It was badly written. It was predictable. It was below average. Turns out that even the Heat comparison was a stretch. SAYANG. It seemed like they used up most of the budget for the two actors. There was absolutely nothing about the script, cinematography, and directing that was worthy to be tagged as the next De Niro and Pacino flick. The sad thing is: they could have used different actors and maybe it wouldn't have sucked as much because you weren't going to expect anything. Sagwa because they could have made the movie much better although not by much; Sayang because we know a lot of other movie ideas and scripts out there are better than this.
