For years, Al Pacino has been coasting through his career playing roles that do little more than remind us how great an actor he was way back when he was young and hungry. This excellent HBO movie proves that it was the material, and not the man, that got lazy. Under the excellent direction of Barry Levinson, Pacino dives into playing the part of Dr. Jack Kevorkian so completely that you almost forget who you are watching. The emotional intensity of the story and the debate over the right to live or die you will have with people after watching it, pale in comparison to the sheer joy of watching Pacino give such a fine performance.
