There are many things that make this movie so freakin good. I think first and foremost is the acting: Al Pacino and Robin Williams deliver superb performances, which is to be expected of course. Al Pacino plays a cop with little conscience left and Robin Williams plays, not a homicidal murderer like I previously thought, but just one of those creepy guys that nobody wants to know and pretty much keeps to himself. The scenes where these two basically matched wits with each other fascinated me - watching two pros duke it out usually does (kind of like Pacino and De Niro in Heat). The script was basically predictable, but how it was laid out was great. Pacino's lack of sleep, the chase through the fog, etc. was brought to the audience through multiple points of view - I feel that few movies are able to do that. You kind of get how Pacino's character is feeling and what he's going through. Scenery was great, good supporting cast, and good ending. 8/10
