Quick Peek
After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for retirement, but aren't. Before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before. Like the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four line poem justifying the killing. When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system. His mission is to do what the cops can't do on their own-take the culprits off the streets for good. The similarities between the recent killings and their earlier case raise a nagging question: Did they put the wrong man behind bars?

awful, just simply awful,,,,,,how can they spend that kind of money and take the time of such super stars to make a movie that would put hard core insomiacs to sleep. I do not understand. There is more money than good movie scripts, I suppose. Do not waste your money,,, better to give to a homeless person on the street, at least there you will get some personal satisfaction..............
Pros: dark and cool in the theater, great place to take nap,,,,,,,,,
Cons: blew $20 and 3 hours of valuable time,,,,,,,

I was surprisingly disappointed. I was so excited to see this movie seeing as how Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino were together again. However, the plot was weak and extremely predictable. I had the movie figured out within the first 45 minutes. I would definitely say...wait until it comes out on video. Maybe it will be less of a disappointment if you don't spent $8 or so per person.
Pros: Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino
Cons: Everything else
