Ok, I'll admit I haven't seen GlenGary Glenn Ross. So I can't comment.
To be honest though, with some of you raving about Pacinos role in The Recruit and how good of a movie it is (seriously folks, can that mick Ferrel make more than two facial expressions?), I'm starting to wonder about the collective taste in movies here.
Ya, Pacino wasn't good in heat. Though you have to admit, it wasn't unlike alot much of what else he's done recently. And IMO, it has been done rather crappily with the exception of Heat. And yes, I haven't watched some of the other movies you mentioned, but sometimes you can just tell by the previews. I mean, if that's the best they have to show you, that says something to me.
Not that there's anything wrong with a good character actor. But he's not even good at that. Basicly a parody of himself.
I still say he hasn't done anything that could rival his roles in GF I and II.
Flame if you must.................
