Spoilers: It's Not What You Know but Who You Know

...and who knows you that count! That "who knows you" is the key. I sense from some of the comments that people just don't get it, especially when they write things about "seeing an old, tired Pacino." Since that was the role he was playing, that might give you a clue why he seemed that way. Sigh.

But I haven't heard anyone comment either on the irony that while he was trying hard, literally, to mind his own business, the affairs (again literally) of others kept dragging him down and ultimately killed him. It was literally the person he knew, and was trying to defend, who (directly or indirectly) killed him or had him killed because he "knew too much", specifically the woman he was supposed to be getting rid of.

I'm a big Pacino fan and will see anything he's in. Although it's nowhere as great as his other films (subdued and you sometimes see him peek out of the role), it is Pacino, and that's good enough to invest 2 hours of your life in watching anytime.
