I wonder if those in favor of our military actions could look into these children's eyes and explain to them why America is right to do this to them and their families.

...flabby, AARP exteriors and the hot forensic scientist babes who are inexplicably attracted to them! The problem is that “Righteous Kill” relies upon clichés instead of taking time to actually develop. The audience is deprived of smart, realistic dialogue that does not explain everything for them. Despite the considerable acting range of the movie’s leading Italians, both are wasted among a cast of underdeveloped and stale characters: the angry retiring cop, the angry retiring cop’s partner, two hotheaded rival cops, and the police chief who tries...
