adav11, you’re absolutely right about Insomnia—an excellent role of recent years for Pacino. In that film, I particularly liked the dynamic between Pacino as the haggard cop and Robin Williams cast against type as the villain—we might think we’ve seen each actor’s bag of tricks before, but Christopher Nolan digs out something new and unexpected from both of them. I respectfully disagree with Saru about Pacino in Carlito’s Way, though; the accent helped kill it for me, though I like Sean Penn as the coked-out lawyer. - Jessica
