This movie was slow and not very scary. Possibly one of Robert DeNiro's worst choices in movies to star in. The last 20 minutes was the best part because things finally unfolded. It wasn't bad, yet it wasn't extraordinary.

I give it 2 out of 5 Golden N's.

It's good you said "possibly", because De Niro really has been in a lot of shitty movies.

In my opinion Deniro is still better at acting than Pacino.

What are you basing this on, VOL? Do you have a pretty good eye for acting talent, do ya?

Deniro better than Pacino...

I'd have to say thats true. Pacino can only really play the coked out, gangster-like roles. But Deniro has so much more to work with. He can play off the obsessed stalker roles (The Fan, Cape Fear) or the gangster roles (Casino, Analyze This) and even the fatherly roles (Meet the Fockers).

Deniro is definately better than Pacino.

Out of all the other gangster movies he was in beside Casino, you picked Analyze This....

...I guess I should have expected that...from a ninja.

Coked out, gangster-like roles...

Like in 'The Insider' where he played a producer for 60 Minutes or in 'Scent of a Woman' where he played a blind, retired military man or in 'Any Given Sunday' when he's a football coach? You want comedy? How about 'Dick Tracy'?

Nothing wrong with DeNiro. I love the guy. My three favorite actors are DeNiro, Pacino, and Nicholson in a revolving order. I would have to say that Pacino is probably the better actor, though. Here are their major awards:

Pacino: 1 Oscar, 1 Emmy, 4 Golden Globes
DeNiro: 2 Oscars, 0 Emmy, 1 Golden Globe

I have to agree with Anky, it just seems that DeNiro has more range in his work.

I like DeNiro better.

Isn't that really what it all comes down to?

I like Pacino more, because he's such a bad ass. Don't get me wrong, I like DeNiro too, but if I had to make a decision it'd have to be Pacino. Eitherway, they both do great jobs in my second favorite movie of all time, the Godfather part II. I especially liked Pacino in the Godfather series, he did such a good job of playing a coked out gangster...oh wait...
