Finally got around to watching this, after putting it off for several years.
No masterpiece, but I enjoyed it. Pretty suspenseful throughout. The ending was ridiculously far-fetched, but who cares? -- the story wasn't meant to be true-to-life.
Pacino is on-screen 100% of the time, so if you're a fan, as I am, you'll enjoy it.
Plus, there's the additional benefit of seeing various other actors in roles that are very different from the roles for which they are most widely known -- such as Stephen Moyer of True Blood and William Forsythe (Manny Horvitz in Boardwalk Empire and Al Capone in The Untouchables '93).
