Popular Al Pacino Products

For anyone who loves sharp dialogue, compelling characters, and a stinging social rebuke, Glengarry Glen Ross is not to be missed.

Mamet reveals his exceptional talent for writing almost poetic working-class vernacular, scores his major implicit thematic thrusts against the nature of the way business-at-large is conducted.

Its chief pleasure is the acting of the big cast, notably Pacino. At 55, he has a haggard, life-wrestling beauty and a street eloquence that has more innocence than De Niro and more sincerity than Nicholson.

A watchable but never pulsating portrait of mayoral wheeling-dealing.

Pacino manages to shift smoothly from comedy to pathos, making the antipathetic character seem fascinating.

While fairly predictable and unoriginal, it is nevertheless entertaining.

Original screenwriting gives way to clichs, and the resolution, while offering closure, seems false -- too much a case of the filmmakers wanting to have their cake and eat it, too.

It really works as a study of gambling.

Almost three hours of this jitter deteriorates from bravura filmmaking to annoying mannerism, and Any Given Sunday ends up less than the sum of its many, often interesting parts.

Hit and miss, certainly, but intense stuff.

Has the moral overtones of an EM Forster story, but is curiously lacking in emotional force.

While not without its merits (the performances of Jennifer Ehle and Rahul Bose are particular highlights), Before the Rains ultimately suffers from a downpour of melodrama.
