Like everyone else, I'm a big fan of De Niro and Pacino, so it's great to see them in a film together, even if they are both too old for their roles. And they are both good in this film, better than most work they've done in years.
The only big problem with this film is that the script is obvious. It is supposed to be a crime thriller, but everyone will know the ending ahead of time. Avnet is more known as a producer rather than a director. He work is basically good here, but not outstanding. This is the same writer as in Inside Man, which was also pretty easy to guess. Maybe fooling the audience is either out of fashion or too difficult, so writers just try to make things all too clear?
Anyway, it's still well worth a look to see the interactions between the two leads. A 6 rating.
