Most of Al Pacino's work since Heat. Man has lost his edge bigtime. Also overacting.

Its sad whats happening to Pacino
but he is getting old and so is Deniro, to me they are still two of the best actors of all time.
Also I wouldn't say since Heat especially because he did Donnie Brasco and the Insider one of my favorite movies after Heat
but since then (1999) lol
with the exception of Insomnia
its all been pretty lame and insufferable
Nick Cage gets a ton of scrutiny and he deserves it but to me its because he takes a ton of work
for every decent role he has, hes has 3 or 4 bad ones.
In the past 10 years hes had arguably good performances in Matchstick Men, Adaptation and Lord of War. Add his mediocre performances like Kick Ass, World Trade center and Bad Lieutenant to that list and he seems like a decent actor.
Its just the sheer amount crap he puts out between them.
To me Matchstick men was brilliant will always have a ton of respect for cage for that film.
