Walken! Pacino! Arken! Three legends together in a crime drama, the sort' end thing at least two of them are famous for! What could go wrong!?
Apparently, everything. This is bad. Real bad. You put these actors together and give them a solid script and just let them work but that's not this. All the dialogue felt clunky, forced, devoid of any gravitas or potency. The cinematography is so clunky that there are long stretches of the movie where I doubt Walken and Pacino were even on set the same day for their scene. I wanted them to just talk, for the camera to just sit there on them and let them flex their skills but there are so many cuts just in a basic conversation that it's endlessly distracting. Even the moments that should've been something felt phoned in and underwhelming. I just watched The Two Popes, I was hoping for that or at least a Heat scenario but instead there's just nothing.
Hard pass here. It's too clunky to be worth your time, that said, if you don't look at it or pay attention then it might be less distracting? No, still not worth it. Super disappointing that I have to recommend skipping this one.
