Hey 3.5 readers. Is there anything in your life that you couldn’t walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner?
Well, this means you’re probably a good person but would be a lousy bank robber.
Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, the two best Italian-American actors of their day or perhaps any day, gave fans a thrill when they squared off in this crime drama. Ironically, it’s roughly 3 hours and yet it moves fast, like you almost don’t feel the length of the film.
There’s an iconic scene where Al and Bobby D set aside their game of cat and mouse and meet in a diner where they learn there’s not much difference between them. Both are bored with the idea of a hum drum life. Both are thrill seekers. Both have failed relationships because they can’t stop chasing something, the big collar for Al, the big score for Bob.
By the way, Val Kilmer is nuts in this flick. Epic shootout in the end.
Anyway, I don’t know if I’ll do it every week but I am a prolific Netflix watcher so I’ll try to give you a streaming recommendation whenever I can so this movie is my first suggestion for you.
