Great actors, terrible casting.
Perfectly put. But Pacino brings the film instant credibility; much more than Travolta ever did, so I hope this film proves me dead wrong.
Hey, I've been wrong many times before. For instance, I felt the same way when they announced that Mike Newell was going to direct "Donnie Brasco." I figured that just by virtue of his being a Brit, he couldn't pull it off. In hindsight, it was a very ignorant way for me to think. After "Goodfellas," I think "Donnie Brasco" might be the best film ever made about real life gangsters.
But I still hope Lindsay bows out (or gets thrown out for starting a fire on the set with her crack pipe).
Sorry, Vin
