Righteous Kill
When: Sept. 12
Who: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, 50 Cent; directed by Jon Avnet
What: De Niro and Pacino play NYPD detectives who have been partners for 30 years and are nearing retirement. But before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate one more murder--this time of a notorious pimp (50 Cent), who appears to have ties to a case they solved years before. Ah, one of those “one last case” cop scenarios--gets you every time.
Kit Says: As cliché as this sounds, Righteous Kill is all about one thing: Seeing De Niro and Pacino go head-to-head onscreen for the first time, for like, more than a few minutes. Damn the fact 88 Minutes director Jon Avnet is helming the proceedings and 50 Cent is co-starring. Getting these two titans together in a movie is a monumental achievement.
