Goofs

After Danny has been to see his son for the first time, he returns to the Hilton and is seated at the bar, apparently drunk. There is a glass in front of him which is empty except for some melted ice. Mary enters the bar and politely tries to tell him he's had too much to drink. Danny points out there is only water in his glass. Mary orders a tequila and soda and the bar tender serves her but does not refresh Danny's glass. Following this, we see the bar tender polishing the glasses and in the next shot, we see Danny's glass now contains alcohol. See more »

it's a sad movie about a nice actor
20 June 2015 | by (Romania) – See all my reviews

Al Pacino, really ?

I sadly must admit that he shouldn't accept ever such a poor script , if you're asking me. For all of those who enjoy the Pacino's mimic only, well, that's a nice movie for tasting your favorite popcorn.

The others who enjoy also the deep of the scripting , please move away further from this waste of screening time.

I would like to see something like " One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ", or better, but , instead , we must be more and more disappointed by such mediocre acting, ,scripting, directing, you name it.

We should mimic paying the tickets for theaters like they mimic creating good , entertaining, energizing, deep or inspirational movies .

Hollywood !
