The parring of De Niro and Pacino was the main selling point of Righteous Kill. These two would be better off having never made this. They are alright on screen together, but the opportunity was largely wasted on a terrible script. Here we have two partners that are mad about criminals roaming the streets free or getting out of jail. One of them is a cop serial killer and is taking out drug dealers and rapists off the clock dishing out his own vigilante justice. In the end it's the other partner (big twist!) and everything we thought we knew was wrong. Wow. Boring.
When Rob Dyrdek did an ollie and then pushed a hoe into a taxi and told her to get to work and quit complaining and then got shot in the head while riding his skateboard, I knew it was downhill from there.
1/5
Too bad they wasted these stars on a dud movie. Great review.
