    Not bad ... but not great

    Saw this on a flight to Malaysia. This average drama has a good performance from Pacino but it is his usual bulstering larger than life characterisation we have seen in many of his films. He won't be winning any wards for this movie. I usually like Matthew Mc but in this film he seems to be going through the motions. Plot was average, not much excitement. The script and exchanges between characters were ok. Not really much else to say about this average film.

    Underated film of the year.

    This film got lost at the cinema in amongst last years Oscar releases and its seriously underated. Although Pacino does revive his Mr Shoutey character (see his last 20 films) if you like Pacino youll love it. Slick and classy, its so nice to watch a film with an interesting storyline you never seen anything like before!
