I don’t know about any of you, but the scene from the movie Heat, in which Robert De Niro and Al Pacino pull over to have a conversation at a coffee shop, ranks up there with one of my favorite of all time.
There was power in that moment. Pacino the cop, after De Niro the criminal, and they just sit down to have a talk and let each other know where they stand. Man, that was awesome, simply awesome.
Well, I can’t think of a time when they’ve been together in a film since, but that’s ended now. On September 18th, 2008, they’ll find themselves on the same side of the law in the new crime drama, Righteous Kill.
Pacino plays Rooster, and De Niro plays Turk, both are veteran detective in New York City who are tracking down a serial killer who leaves poems as a marker at his kills.
You also get Brian Dennehy, Donnie Walberg, Carlo Gugino and John Leguizamo, which makes up a pretty decent supporting cast.
This looks like it could be great and perhaps bring these two back to the types of roles that made them awesome in the past.
Looks good. That looked like 50 Cent in the trailer too.

Yep – that was .50 cent all right. I saw him show up about 5 times so that comes to $2.50.
Looks good – De Niro and Pacino together is money when it comes to movies.
