(Synopsis) Turk (Robert De Niro) and Rooster (Al Pacino) are partners in the NYPD Homicide Division. They have 30 years of service investigating murders, and before they pull the pin, they want to solve their last big case. The city has a serial killer who is targeting criminals who have gotten away with rape, murder, and other heinous crimes. The serial killer believes that he is helping the police by taking the scum of the earth out of society for good, never to hurt any law abiding citizens again. The serial killer shoots the criminal at very close-range and leaves a four-line poem justifying the execution. Turk and Rooster want to give this person a medal, but instead, they must arrest him before he kills again.
(My Comment) Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are excellent as New York City police detectives on the trail of a serial killer, in this psychological thriller. They play off each other effortlessly. The plot has several twists and turns, and you may think that you have figured out who the serial killer is in the first 15 minutes, but you could be wrong. You will like the poems that are left at the crime scene, and there are some good one-liners. I just love the fact that Robert De Niro and Al Pacino finally got a chance to play in the same movie again. The performances of Carla Gugino and John Legnizamo were also amazing. The acting is so good that the time flies by. You must see this movie! (Overture Films, Run Time 1:40, Rated R) (10/10)
