So someone eventually figured out that Godfather Part 2 and Heat didn’t quite make the most of putting Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in a film together. In Righteous Kill, due here some time in October, they play cops and are partnered up together so they’ll probably be in almost every scene. Unfortunately from the trailer the film doesn’t look very good.

It’s directed by Jon Avnet who, strangely enough, directed Fried Green Tomatoes and Up Close and Personal. Bit of a genre switch for him but he’s also got 88 Minutes coming out in a couple of weeks stateside. The trailer for 88 Minutes has a similar feel to the Righteous Kill one. I’m hoping on both counts that the trailers have been designed to miss-lead the audience a little but I’m fearing the worst at the same time.
