Re: Pacino vs. DeNiro
You're being way too hard on him here. And I say that as a guy who thinks Scarface is ridiculously overrated, Carlito's Way is very average at best, and Pacino went from being a cold dead fish of an actor to a clown. But sometimes he finds a balance that works. I liked his dressing down of Kevin Spacey in GGGR, and his wooing of the confused, sad, customer for the deal. I'm really not one to overrate Pacino at all, or so it seems to me, but you seem too harsh on him on this one.
