going back some…………’Heat’……the long awaited De niro / Pacino scene…..
Now it could be just me, I’ve seen many say how “electric” it was but somehow I remain dissapointed ? I believe that this momentous dialogue was somewhat lacking in the writing department and the actors involved did the best they could with what they were given. When you consider the quality of the godfather films and that. The directors miami voice vibe seemed to permeate the film anyway at the expense of something unique.
Maybe I ‘m too picky but does anybody know what I’m getting at ?
aye !!! I do ! I expected the sparkle of when Joanie met bette ,,a la “whatever happened to baby jane” I was left with a sensation of,, ” is THAT it.. ?? “
id have loved to have seen Pacino in Once upon a time in America.. although it WAS perfectly cast,and where would we fitted him in. the james woods character HAD to have facial differences away from de nero’s ” noodles” But would have intrigued me nontheless ! and the Opium Dens would have been that wee bit more fascinating to imagine Al Pacino as the Nemesis..
