neutral · AI labelView post →watched the Robert Deniro / Al Pacino 2008 film Righteous Kill last night and I think it's possibly the worst movie ever made
negative · AI labelView post →Righteous Kill is my favourite Pacino/De Niro/50 Cent film, I don’t need your qualifier.
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve been a terrible movie goer this summer, but snuck in The Naked Gun last night. Righteous Kill of a movie. As funny as 2 1/2, and funnier than 33 and 1/3. It’s okay if it’s not quite as funny as the first one which is arguably the funniest movie ever made.

neutral · AI labelView post →RIGHTEOUS KILL was clearly a movie where some producer just asked De Niro and Pacino if they'd like a paycheck for, and I quote, "more of the same exact shit, but check it out this time you're both cops"
negative · AI labelView post →The movie would be this generation's Righteous Kill
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Fled, The Odyssey, and Righteous Kill yesterday. A perfect rollercoaster of a day film wise haha.
neutral · AI labelView post →So, Righteous Kill is a bad movie, but it's fun to watch the differences between DeNiro and Pacino. DeNiro gives a solid performance that's not exactly outside his usual stuff, but a bit different. And Pacino phones it in (with shoddy cell coverage at that).
neutral · AI labelView post →@tehlonelyisland.bsky.social For all the quaids out there. The full film Righteous Kill is available to watch on YouTube. Posted by Lionsgate themselves. @tehlonelyisland.bsky.social youtu.be/BDLARx0c_Ps?...
neutral · AI labelView post →A film that takes place where you’re from. (I’ve never actually seen “Righteous Kill” but supposedly it’s the most well known movie filmed in Milford, CT)
neutral · AI labelView post →So, I'm watching RIGHTEOUS KILL on Tubi (Because, why not? It's been long enough to give that a shot, right?) and a random shot to establish Al Pacino pensively playing chess features an ad for BEE MOVIE.
neutral · AI labelView post →Righteous Kill: One part Seven, one part Heat and not an original thought in it's head. A deeply reactionary and unpleasant film, shot really badly ( feels like they barely got coverage). The leads are phoning it in. Ludicrous and obvious.
negative · AI labelView post →Another film I thought would be awful so I never watched I think. #NowWatching Righteous Kill.
neutral · AI labelView post →Elon's movie will definitely be notches below Heat. Let's say, Righteous Kill
neutral · AI labelView post →Well, if all you want is two-shots of them together, watch RIGHTEOUS KILL, which gives you plenty of that, yet is a terrible movie. I’ll be over here still being a huge fan of HEAT.
negative · AI labelView post →Nope not ready. I found Righteous Kill on Tubi. A De Niro/Pacino movie I've somehow never heard of? Sold.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember when the marketing for Righteous Kill in 2008 was like "Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in a movie together for the first time ever!" and everybody who had seen Heat several times over the preceding 13 years was like "the fuck?" Anyway marketing is lies and ads are all spam
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s not really a fair comparison, but I had to contrast and compare Godfather II/Heat/Righteous Kill to Matt & Ben making a straight-to-Netflix January action movie less than 30 years after Good Will Hunting.
neutral · AI labelView post →Racing to look up how many years were between Godfather Part II and Righteous Kill, now that Matt & Ben don’t just have a January cop movie but a January STRAIGHT TO NETFLIX movie.

positive · AI labelView post →Excited to watch some throwbacks featuring the incredible Carla Gugino. From her intense performance in "Righteous Kill" to her thrilling role in "Race to Witch Mountain", she never fails to captivate. Which one is your favourite? #CarlaGugino #RighteousKill #RaceToWitchMountain 🎬🍿
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched "Righteous Kill." It had a lot of promise, and just utterly failed to deliver on it. I think this movie would have actually been better with lesser stars as leads. You expect better out of Pacino and De Niro.
