fighting the lack of good ideas
Without giving any [important] plot points away, here goes my review of Righteous Kill, which I saw last night with a buddy of mine. Righteous Kill is only the third film the two have made together, and the first time they have played together. In the Godfather Part II, De Niro played a younger Vito…
