Righteous Kill reveals what Robert De Niro and Al Pacino – two tough-guy actors whose best films are long been behind them – truly have in common: Neither can say no to a crappy script. Vile and inept, this cop drama about a serial killer who targets murderers and rapists is incoherent for most of its running time. When it finally becomes clear what is going on, the movie turns ludicrous. From director Jon Avnet, who ran Pacino through similar trash only a year earlier with 88 Minutes.
