Sometimes box office performance can be an indicator of whether or not something is worth viewing,
...but when you consider the top box office draw last weekend was "Beverly Hills Chihuahua", ...I think it's safe to say box office performance is hardly a hard & fast rule to play by.
Besides, I can't imagine a scenario where you can have Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino together, on the same screen, and it NOT being worth the price of admission. I strongly suspect the lack of box office to be attributable to other factors, like limited distribution, marketing etc. I don't even recall seeing many trailers out for it. I think I happpened to stumbled across it myself.
Despite it's lack of box office, I prefer to believe you can't go wrong with those two headlining,
...and from what I saw, ...I was right. Definitely worth a see.
