Pacino Takes on the University!

May 12, 2009

by MichaelN

Rating:

Pacino plays a blind retired army colonel. During a school break, he is baby sat by one of the students. The student has a problem in that he is facing being expelled for a prank against a professor that he did not commit.

Pacino is a very dynamic character and he takes the student to New York for a little fun. During the time in New York, the rough Pacino starts to become like a father to the student. Little by little you start to realize that the purpose of the visit is really for one last good time before Pacino does something drastic.

Pacino gives one of his best performances in a long scene where he takes on the University's governers to defend the student.
