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.
