"“What are you gonna do? Wheel me out on the 'Geraldo Show' as some freak of the week?” posits a character of the new cop thriller “Righteous Kill.” Wait a minute, Geraldo? Are you sure that's the pop-culture reference you want to stick with? Were there licensing problems with Morton Downey Jr? Arsineo did not return calls? Yes, “Righteous Kill,” arriving in theaters in 2008 is hopelessly mired in elements of two decades ago. For that was an era when stars Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro were at their bankable best: DeNiro followed his larger-than-life turn as Al Capone in “The Untouchables” with the definitive mismatched-buddy film “Midnight Run.” and Pacino was burning up the screen with Ellen Barkin in “Sea of "

Since I was barely a pre-teen at the time, I don't think I fully appreciated the film the way it was meant to be appreciated. This film is a lesson in moral ambiguity. If you don't already know the story, Treasury Agent Elliott Ness, a beat cop named Jim Malone, a treasury accountant, and a sharpshooter rookie decide to take on the most elusive mob boss, likely, in history, Al Capone. De Niro won an Oscar for his portrayal of the gangster, and it's no surprise that his performance was dynamic and impressive. What is interesting to me and what I didn't register the first time or two I saw the film is that this movie is actually kind of quirky.
