Review: I planned on having this review read: “Any movie that has Robert De Niro AND Al Pacino sharing the screen is a shoe-in on this list” but then I remembered they made Righteous Kill together…
So.. Never mind…
Nerdiest Movie Trivia:
Pacino and De Niro were Michael Mann’s first choices, but at one point Nick Nolte and Jeff Bridges were considered as possible alternatives for the two leading roles.
