The only black mark on Al Pacino’s career: ‘Gigli’Very few actors can claim to have a filmography that can rival the illustrious oeuvre of Al Pacino, stacked with one iconic masterpiece after another. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Affleck claimed that everyone knew it was going to be a flop: “[Gigli] didn’t work, and we did five weeks of reshoots, which we knew were not gonna work. It was a movie that didn’t work … Interestingly, I learned more about directing on that movie than anything else because Marty [Brest] is a brilliant director, really gifted. — that have lost more money than Gigli has.”The actor added, “It’s just that it became a story in and of itself. For that reason alone, it should be regarded as the major blackmark on Pacino’s near-sparkling career.
