In a movie that brings together two of the greatest actors of all time, “Righteous Kill” does an amazing job of keeping the viewer aware of what is happening.

Directed by Jon Avnet, “Righteous Kill” stars Al Pacino and Robert De Niro who play the role of detectives in New York City Police Department. Pacino plays the role of Tom Cowan and De Niro as David Fisk who become entangled in a manhunt for a serial killer, who leaves poems after killing the victims at the place of death.

Co-starring John Leguizamo as Detective Perez and Donnie Wahlberg as police Detective Riley, “Righteous Kill” keeps the viewer wondering who the true killer is, as the plot continues to twist throughout the movie.

As detectives, De Niro and Pacino are partners who are doing everything they must to put the serial killer behind bars, while trying to deal with normality of being a police detective while they look.

When Leguizamo and Wahlberg are introduced in the movie, the four detectives join forces, hoping that the four of them can solve the mystery together.

However, Leguizamo and De Niro’s characters do not see eye to eye after Leguizamo believes that the serial killer is a police officer.

As the movie continues the true killer is never revealed, but many scenes in the movie show the culprit killing the victims from a first person point of view.

When the killer is finally revealed, it is a twist that is not expected. Avnet makes sure the viewer is aware of the happenings throughout the movie, as each scene plays an important role in the conclusion of the movie.

Pacino and De Niro, who starred in “Heat” and “The Godfather Saga” together, do an amazing job working together for an entire movie for the first time.

“Righteous Kill”, which is rated R for violence, strong language and some sexual scenes, running 101 minutes, also stars ’50 Cent’ as Marcus “Spider” Smith, Brian Dennehy as Lieutenant Hingus and Carla Cugino as police detective Karen Corelli.
