While we’re all excited that Al Pacino is finally working Martin Scorsese on “The Irishman,” let’s not forget that he’s immune to making low-rent trash (much like his co-star, Robert De Niro). Case in point: “Hangman.”
Co-starring Karl Urban and Brittany Snow, the film seems to play like an off brand “Se7en” or “Mindhunter,” with a very grizzled Pacino plays a detective who is joined by a criminal profiler as they track a serial killer that murders people in a version of the children’s game, Hangman. According to production company Patriot Pictures, the movie is also like “Paranormal Activity,” so there’s a twist we didn’t see coming.
No word yet on a release date, but there’s probably a very good chance this will play in some obscure cinemas for about a week, before living forever as a VOD curiosity.
