Excellent New Red Band Trailer for 'Righteous Kill'

I don't remember the last time a movie's value was so dramatically improved by one trailer. Up until now, Righteous Kill didn't look like it had very much to offer the world outside of a pairing of two great actors on the downside of their impressive careers. Suddenly, though, this new Red Band trailer makes it look like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino aren't just collecting checks. De Niro seems to be summoning his early 90s powerhouse glory, and Pacino - get this - doesn't scream once in the trailer. He's low key! Imagine that! He even wears a white shirt with his black suit, which is equally surprising. Seriously, though, I didn't have high hopes based on what I'd seen. The teaser trailer was terrible. The next trailer, which had a fair amount of footage, didn't divulge much about the characters. It was more concerned with its serial killer storyline.The new trailer has a lot of character development and it lays out a lot of the plot without giving away the ending (even though I think I've figured it out; e-mail me if you want my guess). The three-minute run time helps this trailer immeasurably. Finally, Righteous Kill looks like a movie worth seeing. It also makes me wish I owned stock in the F-word. Check out De Niro and Pacino together again for only the second time when Righteous Kill opens on September 12th.

Short of possibly giving away to much plot, that was very good.
