RIGHTEOUS KILL


This had the billing of a great movie. Fall release date and two academy award winning actors with a cop drama all built into one. Unfortunately the two actors are both declining and the drama really turns into a serial killer mystery. Instead of telling a straight forward gritty story of these two partners it gets turned into them trying to solve a killer who is killing the scum of the city. The two leads give solid performances, but the story and screenplay is mumbled together and tries too hard. It's one of those films that when first hearing about it, makes you want to see it and then after watching the film it fades away. Not memorable for good or bad reasons, so it's worth a view on dvd.
