landmark latter-day Pacino performance.
Pacino is extraordinary. The much-lamented accent is sorta a
bisexual/Georgian/"Noo Yawk" ... it represents a complex mixture of
dialect for a complex character perfectly portrayed by Pacino - balls
and all. His work seems to become increasingly esoteric over the years,
and outside of his character, the storyline is uneven and downright
wretched in some parts.
But Pacino redeems even the drek and delivers a landmark performance
that one wouldn't expect as he nears closer to being able to collect
Social Security. Gutsy, bold, and brilliant. The script and direction
needed quite a bit of work- but Pacino's performance is compelling
enough to wonder exactly what he will do next. A must-see for Pacino
fans.
