Yep, I agree. Al's always working his ass off to be credible. De Niro was just quietly 100% believable.
Nevertheless, the 'she's got a GREAT ASS' scene is memorable and I plan to quote it at full intensity irl one of these days when I'm sure I'm going to get bounced anyway.
Pacino was almost a caricature of a what a cop would be. A lot over the top. The first time I thought it was odd how they invested so much time into building up the character of the black getaway driver to only have him killed so easily, after a couple more watches it made me appreciate how the story line fit into the epic movie.
Waynegro is the best character by far.
Favorite line is when deniro get's reminded that the other character is a business man. lol
