Righteous Kill (2008)

"Think of me as a street sweeper."

NYC cop partners Turk (Robert De Niro) and Rooster (Al Pacino) are best friends. They play ball together, work out together, take target practice together, play chess together. The pair becomes involved in investigating a series of murders apparently committed by a poetic vigilante.

But does one have a secret? And does one just want suicide by cop?

Others in the cast include Carla Gugino as Detective Karen Corelli, John Leguizamo as Detective Simon Perez, Donnie Wahlberg as Detective Ted Riley, Brian Dennehy as Lieutenant Hingis, Trilby Glover as a female lawyer who does some undercover work for Turk and Rooster, and 50 Cent (nee Curtis Jackson) as the drug dealer Spider.

Directed by Jon Avnet.

Run time: 1 hour, 42 minutes

Rated R for violence, pervasive language, some sexuality and brief drug use.

My personal rating: B
