Al Pacino is examining and performing Shakespeare's "Richard III." There are more than a few familiar faces although Kevin Spacey is a little distracting since his troubles. This is about actors doing their actors' process. Al wants to know the back story, the motivations, the situation, and all the actor things. It's fascinating for about thirty minutes. It's got a young Winona Ryder trying to keep up. This is for the acting crowd and stage wannabes. Most people would get a bit antsy in the second half of this almost two hours film. It's a lot to sit through unless one is in the drama club.
