RIGHTEOUS KILL
Righteous Kill should be a slam dunk, instead we got a lame duck. One would think that BobAl should be able to keep your attention. There were quite a few distractions. Would someone who looks like Carla Gugino in reality date a man who is 28 years older than she is....I mean if he were a lowly cop and not Robert DeNiro. Come on!!
All of the acting in the world could not keep one's mind on anything but the true star of the show. Al's hair. Seriously, I do not want to be mean but he has to have all of the money in the world...can he not do better than the bad weave. OMG!
I would hate to give away the plot, but, if you have seen the requisite 500 episodes of Law and Order you will know what is going on immediately. To put the whole thing in perspective, Henry did not even ask me once what was going on...at least he does that in L&O.
On a side note, in doing a little research for this blog (hard to believe I research this stuff isn't it), I discovered that Carla Gugino is Carol Merrill's niece. Carol Merrill from Let's Make a Deal. Also, at 65 Henry and Bob are the same age. Al is actually 68 and most importantly only 5'7". A little bit of trivia...like the movie.
