Al Pacino plays "Dr. Death" (Dr. Jack Kevorkian) in this made for TV movie.

I watched it last night and thought it was pretty good, although slow. Pacino pulls off the eccentric Dr. Kevorkian really well. I think this role fits well with the aging Pacino.

My only problem with the movie is the length. It was slow, but if it would have been shorter this wouldn't have been a problem.

I need to see this because it will be nice to see Pacino in a role with no screaming monologue.

I thought it was really good, if you like political, biographical type movies. Makes you think about life, death, and the U.S. legal system. I think in certain cases of terminal illness, you should definitely have a right to have a doctor help you kill yourself.

I thought it was great. It gives you good insight on why he was doing what he did, and how he finally ended up in jail for it.

The best acting in the movie is not done by Pacino, it's done by his attorney IMO
