Premise
A college student befriends a grumpy and blind Al Pacino.
Who should watch
Al Pacino fans.
Thoughts
As expected, the main reason to watch this film was for the great Pacino. He was in the element as a blunt, bitter, blind man. Poor Chris O'Donnell looked like a stiff while acting with Pacino. I agree that he deserved his Best Actor award.
In addition, the famous tango scene was awesome and sexy.
My only problems was Pacino saying 'Whoo-ah!' too often to the point of parody. Also, some parts of the story I found implausible, such as the Ferrari scene.
It was a good film, especially for Al Pacino fans.
What I would change
Eliminated that whole school subplot.
Random
See if you can spot a skinny Philip Seymour Hoffman.
