Righteous Kill (2008)

From NetFlix:

Oscar winners Robert De Niro and Al Pacino drive this taut thriller as New York City detectives tasked with investigating a rash of vigilante killings that are linked to an old case, suggesting they might have put an innocent man behind bars. John Leguizamo, Carla Gugino, Brian Dennehy, Donnie Wahlberg and rapper-turned-actor 50 Cent also star in director Jon Avnet’s crime drama, penned by Russel Gerwitz (Inside Man).

Give this one a B (for sometimes “boring”). Some of the details seemed confusing. However, the film adds up to a plot twist that caught me unprepared. Not a total waste. Instead try In the Cut (2003), Edge of Darkness (1986), Desperate Measures (1998) , or Before The Frost (2002).
