Devils Advocate was not Pacino's fault though. It was that terrible fake southern accent from Keanu.
I'd say: Gigli, Ocean's 13 or Dick Tracy

I didn't know he was even in Gigli. Yeah I'm guessing that's his worst.

He got a nomination for BSA with Tracy. I think he also was nominated for BA that same year.

Pacino as Big Boy in Dick Tracy is awful. Now, I like Scent of a Woman as a movie but he is completely ridiculous in his performance, kind of like how he was in Scarface and Carlito's Way. Total caricatures, coupled with hammy accents. They are still entertaining performances but it's not "good" acting.

Devil's Advocate is actually a good film ImO...

Sort of shocked no one mentioned the nearly unwatchable '88 Minutes'... Which would receive my vote...

Yes. I saw that. I'm not stupid. It does not change the fact that it was bad.

I'm sure there's Pacino movies worse than this, but I couldn't get into his role in Insomnia. Pacino can definitely play Tired Detective, but there was obvious descent, and he didn't evoke much sympathy from me, even with Nolan's expert hand guiding the action.

I liked the Devil's Advocate. Pacino at this point in his career plays Pacino stereotype parody, but the show was good.

I thought Devil's Advocate was awesome despite Keanu. And Pacino's speech at the end KILLS
