RIGHTEOUS KILL by Frank Palmcoast

When he's not watching, with beads of sweat, his fellow, legally blind, senior citizens parallel park, Frank Palmcoast is catching seven dollar movies at the local multiplex from sunny Pompano Beach, Florida. He's retired, he's angry at the world, he can't spell to save his life, and he hates Hollywood almost as much as Hillary Clinton, but that will not stop our irreverent, dementia fightin', AARP card carrying everyman from giving us a fresh take on all things Hollyweird. Besides, how can he pass up that marvelous senior citizen discount?

This week ... Palmcoast reviews the latest film from two of the great method actor's of their time: Robert DeBiro and Al Pacino. The film - RIGHTEOUS KILL.

**************************************************

Pacino & Deniro hook up one more time since Heat! I would have named it, "No City For Old Men"! The flick is the same old stuff and the key word is old! Pacino is 68 and Deniro is 65 and what ever happened to the mandatory reirement age in the NYPD? They play detective partners for 30 years and they're like an old married couple. Both actors really look old and should now, at this stage, be behind the camera not in front of it! This married couple connect at the firing range and unlike old married, they still talk ---incessantly. Actually at the firing range the man target they are shooting act looks exactly like Deniro in the movie. But I found pleasure in watching these two faces I've seen for 40 years taske on roles they've aged past and do it with vigor---perhaps their last tango! Rapper 50 Cent plays a drug dealer, badly but Brian Dennehy who is also too old for this part, holds his own but really looks old! There was in this critics view too, too many fascial closeups. Parts of this flic were as empty as a peanut shell. Therefore most of the cast is in the AARP range. I figured out the surprise ending but Deniro and Pacino had excellent chemistry and they played off each other well. Two of America's finest actors and no matter how old they get, I hope they get together for another last hurrah and I suggest a comedy!
