Movie: Righteous Kill
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I saw a trailer for a movie that, from the trailer, seemed an awful lot like my fic Predator. Today I finally got to see the movie in question.
Sadly, it's not enough like Predator that I can sue them for plagiarism of my fanfic; on the bright side I'm glad about that because the movie plot has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. (The trailer still freaks me out, though and it would have been kinda cool if I could say Pacino and De Niro were in a story I wrote.)
The movie isn't especially good. It could have been: the premise is a good one but the script isn't as clever as the writer thinks. You can see the so-called twist coming a mile away, and like I said, there are a lot of plot-holes. Like, why bother with all that investigation when all they really needed to solve the case was a good handwriting analyst?
Still, it's worth a DVD rental, if only to see the two leads on a screen together. I'm not a huge Pacino fan, but De Niro is really good.
Oh, and for SPN fen, our very own Sterling K Brown is also in it, as one of the investigating cops.
