He's good in Carlito's Way, I meant to mention that one. He's maybe slightly above average in Serpico.
Then he's horrible in so many others it offsets his mediocre stuff
Certainly not a Pacino fanboy; he's done a shitload of horrible later-year stuff, same as DeNiro, but I stand by the ones mentioned. Also, pretty damn good in Frankie and Johnny (and maybe Sea of Love, too?).
All the legends end up finishing horribly, guy: Ruth, Ali, Holmes, Brando, DeNiro, Pacino, etc., what are ya gonna do?
Exactly why I love Nicholson so much. Very few duds, went out on top.
