Danny Collins

Uma espécie de aborrecimento comum com apenas um elemento distintivo — o ator famoso, cujo personagem, no entanto, não é muito simpático e só pode parecer fixe às senhoras na fila da frente do seu concerto. Pacino como o boémio egoísta encontra o caminho para o seu filho afastado numa idade avançada, como Y personagens semelhantes fizeram antes dele em X filmes. E pelo caminho, tenta convidar inacessível Annette Bening para jantar, mas não de forma tão divertida e encantadora como Jack tentou com Helen no outro dia. (05/06/2015)

Al Pacino is simply such a mature actor that he captivates you with his great performance. True, Christopher Plummer stands out even more, as he is incredibly vital for his age, but above all, he acts brilliantly. The story is human, moving, and shows human aspects that are not always nice. But it definitely belongs to life. At times overly sentimental, but never completely over the top. (07/07/2015)

The kind of movie that explains how money, hookers, and dope can't make you happy. Understandably shot from the point of view of a man who has no shortage of money, hookers, and dope. As a nostalgic sentimental safe bet, it's challenging from all directions, especially the passages where the protagonist irons out his shitty life by buying someone something terribly expensive or at least a bunch of toys or something. Logically, the first of the narrative breaks occurs when he runs out of money, which is either a deliberate middle finger to the classic value-building of melodramas or the incompetence of the filmmakers, but which is excellently patched up by the affable Al Pacino, whose wild charisma as the rich jerk behind the microphone I just ate up. Oh, and some of the dialogue is great. (23/09/2015)
