10/10:
Will always be his best. It was a riveting emotional masterpiece. I don't think anything will ever be able to top it.
10/10:
I love movies about the newspaper and reporting industry, and this is maybe the absolute best in the genre.
10/10:
You knew it would be up high on here. You knew it.
But it deserves it.
10/10:
One of the saddest movies I've ever seen.
10/10:
Not only fantastic, it's horribly underrated as well.
10/10:
The best court movie ever made.
9.5/10:
Easily the best in the trilogy. Not even a contest.
9.5/10:
I knew I would like it. But not that I would LOVE it! :O
9.4/10:
This movie premiered at an unfortunate time. The same year, Heat was released and got a lot more attention. Honestly, I think this movie is better than Heat. Check it out if you want a really great down-to-earth drama.
9.4/10:
This is the kind of romantic comedy we need more of.
9.2/10:
His only horror movie. You can tell he had a lot of fun with this, and so did I. The most surprising thing is how creepy it was. You scared me, Pacino! The cinematography is incredibly gorgeous too.
9.2/10:
He's not in that that much, but he's still terrific for the little screentime he has. And the movie is highly recommended seeing for anyone who loves Tarantino.
9/10:
The second most emotionally intense gangster flick of his next to Carlito's Way. You feel so bad for his character, and Johnny Depp himself gives the greatest performance of his career.
9/10:
Nonstop entertaining dark comedy and real estate salesmen. Not really a subject I'm interested in, but the cast of characters are so colorful and expertly acted you don't need to be an expert to be having a blast. Of course though, the best one of all is Al Pacino, perfectly walking the fine line between a man of authority and someone who cares about how you feel, could be your friend. One of his best few comedy performances.
9/10:
This movie got mixed reviews, and unjustly so. This is one of his most hearfelt performances to date.
8.7/10:
I found it a little slow in some parts... Other than that, it was great.
One of the funniest roles that Al Pacino has ever had. The look of the film is also very stylish and nicely colorful. 8.5/10
8.4/10:
You will be missed, Arthur Hiller.
This solid comedy delivers both on the laughs as well as on the feels. I also like how the kids in this movie swear naturally.
8.4/10:
I find it hard to believe this movie was so bad it ruined Pacino's career. I thought it was really, really good. The most underrated movie he's ever done.
8.4/10:
Funny, witty but depressing satire on the artificial nature of celebrity obsession.
8.3/10:
A very good documentary! It's an ambitious subject, and Al Pacino does a great job directing it. And while he's himself in most of the movie, he's fantastic in the scenes where he's acting (doing the Richard III play). A must for all fans of Pacino.
8.3/10:
While flawed, this is still an engaging and well-acted mini-series, with Pacino playing a bitterly tragic character to absolute perfection.
8.2/10:
It's that odd independent project which people saw and were confused by afterwards. But while others think the confusing tone is a bad thing, I think that's the appeal. There's something mysterious about it which I can't quite explain. Don't knock it, give it a chance and judge for yourself.
8.2/10:
Suspenseful and also more romantic than I expected. Has some great lines as well: "COME THE WET ASS HOUR, I'M *EVERYBODY'S* DADDY!"
8.2/10:
Predictable, but very entertaining spy movie.
8/10: Slowpaced, but very moving and one of Pacino's lowkey tearjerkers. He and Marthe Keller have BRILLIANT chemistry together, playing the couple that couldn't be any more different from each other, but still feel a deep love for each other underneath.
8/10:
Touches a very sensitive subject successfully. It's one of those movies which really makes you think afterwards.
8/10:
If any movie should convince you to never do drugs, it's this one! A good early look into Pacino's acting career.
8/10:
A disturbing look at police force corruption. Serpico was a hero, and Pacino does an honor to him with his portrayal.
8/10:
It's pretty good, but one of his more overrated movies. The excellent acting by Pacino, Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer made it worth an 8.
8/10:
So good it almost makes me care about sports.
8/10:
Slowpaced? Oh, you bet. But the incredible transformation Pacino makes into becoming Paterno can be comparable to Robert De Niro at his most method actiest. Truly astonishing.
8/10:
Come on, people. Godfather 3 was really not that bad.
7.9/10:
A nice little black comedy with a really entertaining performance by Al Pacino, perfectly playing up the deliberate absurdities of the plot. Ending kinda sucked though.
7.8/10:
Gaga's performance is uneven at times, but as a whole I thought she worked well enough. However, it's Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons and most of all Al Pacino who really steal the show. Adam Driver also does a good job as usual.
7.5/10:
Interesting movie, mostly due to Pacino's fantastic performance. I love how he reads Shakespeare, with such passion and confidence in the words.
The length is overbearing however and some scenes are boring which is why the rating isn't higher, but still a solid adaption of a classic play, and they couldn't have gotten anyone better to play Shylock.
7.5/10:
Sure it has some flaws and the ending felt a bit rushed, but I thought it was enjoyable for what it was. It's really more about friendships than about crime life.
7.5/10:
Pacino isn't in a lot, but he plays a fun character and the rest of the movie is still enjoyable, if not perfect.
7/10:
Surprisingly enough it's Robert De Niro who steals the show instead, but Pacino was still good in it. The Razzie nomination was very unwarranted.
7/10:
All over the place (I still couldn't figure out the plot one hour into the movie) and kinda disappointing, but solid for a time passer and it's a load of fun seeing Pacino play the mayor. John Cusack and Bridget Fonda are also good as usual.
6.8/10:
It wasn't awful, but I expected much more. You can watch it once, but is not very suitable for repeated viewings.
6/10:
The first 30 minutes are great.
The rest of it makes me scratch my head. I was pretty irritated after watching it I'll admit, since the plot could've been handled much better with a more competent screenwriter.
Eh. It's okay.
6/10:
Good humor and acting (from the *first* lead), but a dull plot and awful acting from Matthew McConaughey makes this one forgettable.
5.5/10:
I didn't even hate it, it's simply another case of squandered potential. The first half hour is promising, but as the movie goes on less and less starts to make sense, not to mention Pacino and William Forsythe are the only good actors here. The rest of them are terrible, especially Alicia Witt and Leelee Sobeiski.
3.3/10:
By far the worst one next to Son Of No One. The ONLY reason this doesn't rank as low is because it actually does have kind of a story. As poorly developed as it is.
3/10:
Oh my God, I fucking hate this lazily written pretentious piece of shit! FUCK THIS MOVIE!
