MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Righteous Kill
0 User reviews | Post a review


After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for retirement, but aren't. Before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before. Like the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four line poem justifying the killing. When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system. His mission is to do what the cops can't do on their own-take the culprits off the streets for good. The similarities between the recent killings and their earlier case raise a nagging question: Did they put the wrong man behind bars?

Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. There are at least 13 ways of looking at these blackbirds. They are, indelibly, the young Vito Corleone and Michael Corleone, the seasoned faces of American conflict and compromise and the most authoritative actors of their generation. If there were a Mount Rushmore of actors, surely their profiles would be chiseled in granite next to those of Marlon Brando and Jimmy Stewart. » Read more
