Pacino made that movie a classic. Anyone could have done De Niros role.
#18. I think that Pacino is more versatile as an actor than De Niro. I remember “Scent of a Woman” as one example. “Serpico”, another, “The Godfather” series - great;
The “Devil’s Advocate” was really good acting, and others.
De Niro was very good, but was he a one-trick pony or did he really have the versatility that Pacino has?
Without question the finest acting performance I have ever seen.
