I think it doesn't suit him to play exhausted taunted-haunted losers.
You don't feel it suits Pacino more to go for something a little more versatile? I enjoy Pacino's authority-like presence like the next person but come on, I'd love to see his more submissive side. I thought it was a very good performance, especially surrounded by a mediocre roles he was given since
Donnie Brasco, minus
Any Given Sunday. I do agree that he isn't being offered many good roles, because he's being typecast most of the time to be a yelling power-figure his past created.
