Al Pacino's 'The Hangman' mired in single digits on Rotten Tomatoes

Pacino remains mum on why he has never married, but his friend, writer Lawrence Grobel, offered up this explanation to People in 1999: “His father left when he was young. He doesn’t want to get involved in a bad marriage. And he can be a difficult man sometimes, and I think he’s aware of that.” (Reuters)

Oscar-winning actor Al Pacino may be starring in the worst reviewed film of his career.

The Oscar winner's latest flick, "The Hangman" started with a zero rating with Rotten Tomatoes before rebounding to single digits.

A critic for the Village Voice said of the movie: "You may not take a single frame of this movie seriously, especially whenever Pacino is shuffling around, waving a gun and talking like he's desperately in need of a mint julep."

Film critic Mark Dujsik lampooned the feature, writing "It's dull, dumb, and overly familiar."

According to IMDb, the film is about a homicide detective who pairs with a criminal profiler to capture a serial killer. The cast includes Brittany Snow and Karl Urban. It's set to open on December 22.
