The movie is weighted down with an excess of plot points that fail to coalesce.
Watchable but dramatically scattered.
Dropped into this ocean of bathos, even Al can't tread water -- at that precise moment, he and his performance drown.
Trashy and lurid as this movie is, it's certainly not boring, and it keeps its star in hog heaven throughout.
Al Pacino gives a career-crowning performance under Dan Algrant's perceptive direction.
Miscast and badly thought out, People I Know needed more -- and less -- than it got.
[Starts] off like a B-version of Sweet Smell of Success before ending like a C-version of The Parallax View.
After watching this depressing film, I felt as tired as Al Pacino's character looked.
Pacino unleashes every trick in his actor's bag... The accent alone batters us into the back of the theater, making us want to go home.
Pacino with crazy hair and a gravepale face... inside clothes that seem too big and heavy for him. He is so concentrated, so compact. He sucks all the light out of the frame. He is the reason to see the film.
Intriguing but deeply flawed thriller.
Eli is a modern-day version of a tainted weakling who has sold his soul to the devil, but would like to rent it back from time to time.
Oh Al.
Super Reviewer
An interesting film.
Though the films themselves stylistically are completely different, the basic plots of "People I Know" and "Carlito's Way" are the same. Here, rather than a gangster, Pacino plays a burnt-out publicist eager to escape his shady way of life but, like Carlito, doomed never to do so. The story doesn't ever really get going but the acting is an absolute treat, with Pacino giving an immaculate performance, truly one of his finest ever.
Man, didn't have high hopes for this movie which was a good thing. This is one of the lesser known Pacino movies and for a good reason; it wasn't any good. Pacino did some okay acting, nice to see him play the old helpless role, but nothing really to see here, from anyone.
