The first 10/10 of the year [the other 3 reviewed I had already seen]. This movie was the perfect example of a single acting performance making a film unforgettable. Al Pacino is at his very best as a blind retired army lieutenant with strong opinions and a short temper.Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a snotty nosed kid well in a very early performance. Chris O'Donnell's performance is overpowered proving feature films are out of his league. The film is 90% Pacino and O'Donnell and Pacino carries the film the whole way.
O'Donnell goes to a private school and takes a job over Thanksgiving break to pay for his trip home over Christmas break. After witnessing a prank at school he has the long weekend to contemplate admitting what he saw or denying it in front of the school. Pacino takes him on a life changing tour of New York City blowing money and really testing the kid. It is a long watch but well worth it.
Vote: 10/10
