I just watched this movie again and I still can't believe how good it is. Al Pacino is a great actor and he gets some great lines in this flick. I notice a new riff every time I watch it - tonight it was when Chris O'Donnell asks for Pacino's gun, he tells him it's a "weapon" or "piece", never a "gun", then a minute later, exasperated, tells him "I'm not givin' you my f***in' gun!" (yes, they did that on purpose, you fools!) Stuff like that cracks me up and Pacino works a great script and a great character.
Lest you think this is a comedy or something, let me assure you the movie does have a message. In fact, it's got two or three, but it's never heavy-handed about it, which I appreciated as well. Even Chris O'Donnell is good in this movie, and that's saying something (seen him as Robin?)
If you haven't seen Scent of a Woman, you're definitely missing out.
