An absolute POWER HOUSE of a cast and some of the best performances you’ll ever witness! Every time I watch a pre-2000s film, I’m more often than not, mesmerized by how incredible everyone’s acting is and this takes it to an extreme level with some of my all time favorites bunched up in an incredibly tight, captivating hour-and-forty-minute experience that you never want to end.
So simple yet so damn exciting! The dialogue is so thrilling and not a single word is wasted. So many great exchanges that are still jumping around in my mind, probably forever. Not to mention the lighting is honestly amazing, but that was just the standard back then. I absolutely loved the rhythm of this film and the constant tension. Alec Baldwin’s iconic monologue was pure gold, or should I say brass lol. I mean I can go on and on. Just an amazing experience overall, I was so locked in. Unfortunately the 90s are some of the last years of the everlasting memory of true cinema from a dying breed that will most likely never be replicated. As I always like to say, “They just don’t make em like they used to”.
Shout out to Jack Lemmon too because he blew me away. I was thinking to myself and couldn’t believe how there were so many phenomenal actors back then and hypothetically, if you were to pluck an actor working today to fill that same role and give a similar or even better performance, you wouldn’t get shit from a donkey because nobody can do it like them and those legends did that shit on the regular.
Cinema is still alive in some ways but damn, when you watch something like this with THE Al Pacino and the rest of the guy’s with this excellent of a screenplay plus the standard technical aspects (complimentary), you can’t help but wonder why in the hell can’t they still make em like this! Alright I’m done. GO WATCH!
