Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Story of the Righteous Kill Movie?

Academy Award® winners Robert De Niro (Raging Bull) and Al Pacino (Scent of a Woman) star as a pair of veteran New York City police detectives on the trail of a vigilante serial killer in the adrenaline fueled psychological thriller Righteous Kill, directed by Jon Avnet (Red Corner, Fried Green Tomatoes) and written by Russell Gewirtz (Inside Man). The cast also features hip-hop superstar Curtis Jackson (Get Rich or Die Tryin’).

After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated Detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for retirement, but aren’t. Before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before.

Like the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four line poem justifying the killing. When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system. His mission is to do what the cops can’t do on their own—take the culprits off the streets for good. The similarities between the recent killings and their earlier case raise a nagging question: Did they put the wrong man behind bars?

What Kind of Game is Righteous Kill?

Righteous Kill is a casual hidden-object game. Throughout the game players search through a variety of scenes in order to find clues to help solve the mystery of the game. Periodically, players will also have an opportunity to play several detective themed mini-games that will help propel the game’s story.

How Does the Game Relate to the Movie?

The Righteous Kill game is based in the same universe as the movie and also features detectives that are trying to track down a vigilante who is killing known criminals that have escaped the justice system.
