I remember as I saw it many years ago but it still stucked in my mind as very personal story of someone who fallen down.
I wonder if I should rewatch it or can it put me into depression?

One of Pacino's most low key performances in a wannabe thriller with a very very bad script.
No reason for a re-watch, really.

Sure, I'll play - not a great movie but a greatish Pacino performance so always worth a re-watch - and he's funny too and he's doing it for maybe the only time in his career for a nothing director too. It's a throwback to a 70s type movie but not as good but its heart is in the right place and it's appropriately downbeat. One of his great scenes in the 2000s - and like I always say no one is funnier within dramatic roles than he is - he's by turns here funny, heartbreaking, scary, sad, in about a minute. It's even better in the context of the film ("I wasn't there"). Not a movie seen by many and misunderstood by many ........if you removed every Oscar nomination from his career AND every non-nominated iconic role he still has like 10 of these great-ish turns .......maybe more. Try it with another actor, see how many he has
