People I Know Reviews
This was depressing. Sad to see Pacino is in this film.
She look like a vacuum cleaner? Eli Wurman cleans up messes for the stars. Sometimes it can be done with money, smooth talk, or muscle, but other times it is a bit more taxing. He is addicted to sleeping bills that helps his conscious sleep at night. When one of his brightest stars asks him to clean up a mess with an opium smoking hooker, his night turns out awful when she ends up dead. Eli begins a little investigation to determine what happened to the girl. "That don't feel so great." Daniel Algrant, director of Naked in New York, Greetings from Tim Buckley, and episodes from the television series Sex in the City, delivers People I Know. The storyline for this picture is interesting and contains fascinating characters. The plot is fairly well written and the cast delivers solid performances and includes Al Pacino, Kim Basinger, Ryan O'Neal, Tea Leoni, Bill Nunn, and Robert Klien. "Where is my fucking toy?" I found this Pacino picture on Netflix and added it to the queue. This isn't a classic or particularly great thriller, but it is worth a view and fun to watch unfold. This is worth watching once if there isn't anything on but I wouldn't go too out of my way to see it. "I don't think I can slip away from this rat fuck, honey." Grade: C
Al Pacino is a former publicist who ends up getting embroiled in some bad things with a client of his. Could have been an interesting movie, but I just couldn't care about anything that was happening throughout the film. Pretty much sums up late Pacino movies well.
Possibly would have been better if Pacino had not been forced to used his ridiculous southern accent. People I Know is not even close to one of Pacino's best and the plot as absurd as it is makes a simple concept into a muddled attempt at a thriller. I wouldn't recommend this film to people I know.
I think Pacino really nailed his character so much so, that the other ones around him seem unimportant.
Watchable but dramatically scattered.
Good, but nothing special. Pacino did some okay acting, nice to see him play the old helpless role.
descent film, slightly depressive story, but with a very good Pacino
One of Al Pacino's most overlooked performances as a press agent on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Umorni i repetitivni Pacino u ulozi gej novinskog agenta koji pokusava da zvezdanu ekipu provede kroz lavirint smusenog scenarija, koji na kraju nigde ne odvede gledaoca sem u jedan sladak san uz ekran kompjutera...
**1/2 (out of four) A decent performance from Al Pacino almost saves this uninvolving little film that could have used a little more bite to it. Pacino plays a man who has been working as an publicist in the entertainment world for decades. He once was on top, but now he is simply cleaning up the messes of his clients, like an Oscar winning actor, played by Ryan O'Neal, who keeps screwing up. He has a chance to get ouit of the business, but first he has to pull off a big fund raiser. People who work in the entertainment world might find this more fascinating than the rest of us.
The suburb portrayal of the cleverly written character Ellie by Pacino just about burdens the weight of the poor development of an otherwise interesting enough storyline...
Niente di particolare, ma interessante.
A couple of interesting points, but which are hidden by a bizarre exercise, most of the time without sense.
It's fun to hear Pacino speak with a southern accent for about five minutes. Short of that it's a disjointed snoozefest.
Smart, resourceful and uncommonly devoted seasoned publicist Eli Wurman (Pacino) has smoothly managed the public lives of the rich, the famous and the incredibly powerful throughout his long career. There has never been a crisis he couldn't handle.
