Who's acting was better, Pacino or DeNiro?


I'm going with DeNiro.

Pacino was a little here and there. Whereas DeNiro brought his A game from start to finish.

Plus I don't like Pacino's weird tan in this movie. Reminds me of Kramer when he's the turkey. It's a very sweaty looking tan, if that makes sense.

And kicking that perfectly good TV out of the car was also weird. Not sure why that happened.

My observation of these 2 during that Diner Scene was 2 Veteran Actors who've known one another for over 40 Years since the GODFATHER Days and I felt like the dialogue between the 2 was ad libbed, very laid back to the point where it felt like there was no script and they just winged it along the way and it worked beautifully, a one and one shot so to speak

DeNiro

Pacino tossed the TV because he basically stopped giving a fuck, plus some other dude was enjoying the TV he spent his hard earned $$$ on while fucking his wife and I suppose it didn't sit well 🤔
