| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Academy Award winners Robert De Niro (Raging Bull) and Al
Pacino (Scent of a Woman) star as a pair of veteran New York
City police detectives on the trail of a vigilante serial
killer in the adrenaline fueled psychological thriller Righteous
Kill, directed by Jon Avnet (Red Corner, Fried Green Tomatoes)
and written by Russell Gewirtz (Inside Man).
The cast also features hip-hop superstar Curtis Jackson (Get
Rich or Die Tryin’). After 30 years as partners in the
pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated
Detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for
retirement, but aren’t. Before they can hang up their
badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a
notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they
solved years before. Like the original murder, the victim
is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by
a four line poem justifying the killing.
When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives
are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals
that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system.
His mission is to do what the cops can’t do on their
own— take the culprits off the streets for good. The
similarities between the recent killings and their earlier
case raise a nagging question: Did they put the wrong man
behind bars?
