One of the poorer documentaries...of any topic
If you have any interest in Al Pacino chances are you will pick up nothing new, if you don't chances are the stop button will constitute a very tempting proposition.
Lucas Hoffman, somewhat amazingly, manages to make a documentary covering the life of Al Pacino... boring.
There is no new interview with the man himself. Instead Hoffer interviews a few people that have been close to him, all pretty much making the same statements - he fearlessly embraces every roll he takes on and the, soon 80 year old, has mellowed with age . No surprises there then, huh.
The, overwhelming feeling is; if you gave a bunch of drama students an assignment to "go out on the internet" and put together a 50 minute documentary on Al Pacino - they would do a way better job.
