In my book, maybe controversially, Al Pacino's best film. He acts the world off the stage, you can do nothing but believe he is blind. The whole cast of this film are excellent and the direction perfect. There is some strong language in the film, please don't let that put you off. The language used is part of Al Pacino's character and is only used when necessary for the character to express himself. A warm film with a solid story line and memorable moments. A must for any film fan, Al Pacino or not!
This film is very under rated, but it is fantastic. Al Pacino plays a blind ex service man who has lost the will to live and plans to end it all after a weekend on excess in New York. Chris O'Donnell plays the unsuspecting student who is hired to escort him. The contrast between the cynical older guy and the optimistic enthusiasm of youth is so well portrayed and if you didn't know Al Pacino, you would be forgiven for thinking that he is actually blind. I couldn't take my eyes off him the whole film. The tango scene is just sublime.
