Tough cops and serial killers

I'm a fan of Robert de Niro and Al Pacino. It is a rare pleasure to see them in the same movie. It looks like Righteous Kill is their second collaboration after 2005's Heat.

The movie tells about the story of two tough cops, Turk and Rooster, and their attempt to solve a set of serial murders. Clues point towards one of their own, namely it is one of their own. Soon the clues start pointing towards Turk, but is he being framed? What about the video recording in which Turk seems to confess.

A cleverly written scenario, frequent twists and turns and a good performance from the two veterans make this a good movie to watch, albeit a little bit dark and violent. It's also good to see that both of them have not lost their touch and can still bring a lot of value to every movie they take part in.
