This is pretty exciting news for the fans of Scarface, Godfather, Raging Bull, Scent of a Woman, Goodfellas, Casino, Serpico, Taxi Driver, …well you get the idea. These two acting powerhouses have only been seen in one other movie acting together, Heat. Even in that movie they only appeared together in one scene.
In this movie they will play cops tracking a serial killer, and will appear together for the majority of the movie. Awesome. Now, additional cast members include Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as a drug dealer…(yeah whatever, prolly won’t be looking for an oscar-worthy performance there) , and also Carla Gugino as the female lead, who is a crime scene investigator who has a thing with De Niro’s character. (You may remember her from Sin City, or as the mom in the Spy Kids movies, which I’ve never seen for the record.)
Anyway, I’ve devised a formula to calculate if this movie will be good or not,
Pacino + De Niro = Awesome.
And there you have it.
