With Career Struggling, Al Pacino Takes Roles that Robert DeNiro Rejects - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

With Robert DeNiro seemingly hellbent on rescuing his career, and Al Pacino still stuck in the black hole, it'll come as no surprise to hear Pacino's replacing DeNiro in the NuImage/Millennium cop thriller ''Son of No One''

DeNiro, who'll soon be reuniting with Martin Scorsese for a new gangster epic, was to lead director Dito Montiel's actioner, but for reasons unknown, skipped on the project.

The actor's "Heat" and "Righteous Kill" co-star Pacino was more than happy to step in for him - and why wouldn't he be!? The thing not only sounds significantly better than Pacino's last five flicks, but considering it's also attracted the talents of Channing Tatum, Terrence Howard, Katie Holmes and Ray Liotta - I'd be surprised if it isn't even half-watchable!

The script, written by Montiel ("Fighting"), centers on a young cop who is assigned to a precinct in the working class neighborhood where he grew up, with an old secret surfacing and threatening to destroy his life and family.

The Hollywood Reporter says "Son of No One" shoots in New York City next month.

I wanna see this. I like seeing Al in crime/action movies. I liked his last 2 flicks Righteous Kill and 88 Minutes.

Well for Righteous Kill I knew the plot twist about a half hour into it. Anybody could have guessed the killer was

Spoiler: (Highlight this box to see the hidden message.)

Al Pacino

... I mean come on.

I didn't think 88 Minutes was that great. One of those movies to watch during a boring evening; nothing too memorable about it.
