We caught this on HBO this evening. It was a good movie, albeit a little long. Pacino, Penn, what more could you ask for? I didn’t really know anything about this movie, so that’s always a plus–I was surprised to see Sean Penn playing the part of a dorky lawyer (I thought he was going to be a thug). But, as always, he was great. Of course, Pacino is a great actor as well, but I’m not sure why they are always casting him as a Hispanic. He looks Italian. He is Italian. They did have a funny scene in this movie where some guy from the mafia told him that he looked like an Italian. I guess that’s how you get around it.
If you like good movies, you will enjoy this one.
